Modeling Lung Architecture in the XCAT Series of Phantoms: Physiologically Based Airways, Arteries and Veins

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to extend the extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) series of computational phantoms to include a detailed lung architecture including airways and pulmonary vasculature. Eleven XCAT phantoms of varying anatomy were used in this paper. The lung lobes and initial branches of the airways, pulmonary arteries, and veins were previously defined in each XCAT model. These models were extended from the initial branches of the airways and vessels to the level of terminal branches using an anatomica… Show more

“…These were generated using the improved 4D extended cardiac‐torso (XCAT) anthropomorphic digital phantom (Duke University, Durham, NC, USA) at different inspiration levels and cardiac phases, in addition to other varying conditions like whole body displacement, different intravenous iodine concentration, presence or absence of beam hardening artifacts simulated by adding titanium pins in the spine, addition of nodules in the lungs, wedge‐shaped perfusion defects in the pulmonary parenchyma of the contrast‐enhanced image, and different noise level. This digital phantom provides a virtual model of patient anatomy and physiology including pulmonary vasculature and bronchopulmonary structures up to the terminal branches, without collision of structures . The phantom, based on ICRP Publication 89 data, is commonly used in imaging research due to the flexibility of its nonuniform rational basis spline (NURBS)‐based surface primitives, variation in anatomy, motion, and variable spatial resolution, that can be simulated.…”
