3D Printed Phantoms for Testing, Evaluating, and Calibrating Optical Imaging Methods

Summary

Purdue University researchers have developed a method for fabricating phantoms for optical imaging that allows design of the material's optical properties (scatter and absorption). By using 3D printing with stereolithography, a water tight phantom with complex geometry and no air gaps can be made. The optical properties can be designed to match those of biological tissues. This method allows for the placement of complex inhomogeneities in a complex geometry, making it ideal for testing, evaluating, developing, and calibrating imaging methods and equipment.
