Recent advances on the development of phantoms using 3D printing for imaging with CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, and ultrasound

Abstract: Purpose: Printing technology, capable of producing three-dimensional (3D) objects, has evolved in recent years and provides potential for developing reproducible and sophisticated physical phantoms. 3D printing technology can help rapidly develop relatively low cost phantoms with appropriate complexities, which are useful in imaging or dosimetry measurements. The need for more realistic phantoms is emerging since imaging systems are now capable of acquiring multimodal and multiparametric data. This review addr… Show more

“…The use of 3D printing has grown in the past years in different areas in medicine, such as biocompatible prosthesis development, surgery planification with models based on patient images and educational purposes . One of its applications is the development of affordable customized test objects or phantoms that can be used in image quality assessment in different medical imaging modalities . O’Dell et al validated the accuracy of sizing vessels using a 3D printed vascular phantom made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic.…”

“…Specifically, the technology features the highest available feature resolution and the ability to print a solid model using multiple materials within a single job. Multimaterial 3D printing is particularly novel for the reason that it can enable the incorporation of heterogeneities to represent realistic anatomical structures and allow for a modular construction . The high degree of material uniformity and the ability to simulate, at least structurally, highly accurate anatomy should prove useful for radiobiological experiments with potential application to imaging experiments.…”
