Abstract
A medical imaging phantom () is three-dimensionally printed (). In one specific approach, three-dimensional printing () allows for any number of variations in phantoms (). A library of different phantoms (), different inserts, different textures, different densities, different organs, different pathologies, different sizes, different shapes, and/or other differences allows for defining a specific phantom () as needed. The defined phantom () is then printed () for calibration or other use in medical imaging.
