Super-size me: adipose tissue-equivalent additions for anthropomorphic phantoms.

摘要: Physical anthropomorphic phantoms have been utilized for a variety of dosimet- ric studies across range procedures utilizing diagnostic imaging equipment. Unfortunately, these are often limited to single reference size, which may not be representative the patient population at large. This work set out develop an adipose tissue-equivalent substitute material that could used create low cost physical additions existing phantoms. Using commercially available products, methodology was developed accomplish this, and addition built 90th percentile by weight phantom from 50th model. can easily expand utility in order better represent patients various body morphologies, investigate effects size procedures.
