HARDWARE TUMOR PHANTOM FOR IMPROVED COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSIS

摘要

An imaging system (1) includes at least one hardware phantom (52, 54, 56, 58) which includes structural features (s, 82, 92) that mimic different structural features of tumors. A scanner (10) acquires image data for a subject (14) in a region of interest (40) and the at least one hardware phantom. A reconstruction processor (32) processes the image data to generate reconstructed image data representative of the region of interest and of the hardware phantom.
