Advances in anthropomorphic thorax phantoms for radiotherapy: a review

Abstract: A phantom is a highly specialized device, which mimic human body, or a part of it. There are three categories of phantoms: physical phantoms, physiological phantoms, and computational phantoms. The phantoms have been utilized in medical imaging and radiotherapy for numerous applications. In radiotherapy, the phantoms may be used for various applications such as quality assurance (QA), dosimetry, end-to-end testing, etc. In thoracic radiotherapy, unique QA problems including tumor motion, thorax deformation, an… Show more

“…So far, RMPs made using cadaveric animal lungs contain the most detailed internal structures 31,32 . However, these cadaver phantoms cannot be preserved for long periods due to tissue degradation and thus are not capable of repeatable long-term testing 33 . To our knowledge, no prior RMP exists which includes anatomically accurate and detailed lung structures, can undergo non-rigid deformations, and is also suitable for long term use.…”

“…To this aim, phantoms containing dosimetric materials able not only to accurately measure 3D dose distributions, but also to mimic the deformation and motion of organs are required [12,13]. Various deformable dosimetric phantoms have been proposed in the literature, which use different manufacturing approaches and readout techniques [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
