Artery phantoms for intravascular optical coherence tomography: healthy arteries

Abstract: We present a method to make phantoms of coronary arteries for intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT). The phantoms provide a calibrated OCT response similar to the layered structure of arteries. The optical properties of each layer are achieved with specific concentrations of alumina and carbon black in a silicone matrix. This composition insures high durability and also approximates the elastic properties of arteries. The phantoms are fabricated in a tubular shape by the successive deposition and… Show more

“…46)]. In the future, it may be possible to improve the elastic modulus through the addition of pure PDMS to the curing agent 38,47 when fabricating one or more layers. Additionally, our phantom could be expanded to mimic absorption properties of tissue through the use of molecular absorbers 48 or dyes.…”

“…Additionally, the heat lamp causes partial curing (i.e., semi-curing); Bisaillon et al also demonstrates a method using heat curing to achieve uniformly thick layers, though their process is not amenable to fabricate nonluminal organs. 38 The entire process can be repeated to build additional layers with the same or different optical properties after curing in an oven for 10 min at 60°C. We successfully spin coated up to 15 layers with differing thicknesses and optical properties in a single mold (data not shown).…”

“…Left in an oven with the 90 C environment for 3 h, a piece of solid material can be obtained for subsequent operations. Finally, the singlescattering model 15,18,19 was used to acquire the total attenuation coe±cient of the materials. The relationship between the attenuation coe±cient and the concentration of TiO 2 particle material is shown in Fig.…”

“…The optical tissue phantoms used in this experiment were described previously. 28 The artery-like phantoms were composed of cylindrical layers successively deposited on lathe setup. Each layer was made from a silicone matrix with specific concentrations of alumina and carbon black to provide specific absorption and scattering properties.…”
