Abstract
A computer-implemented method for manufacturing an X-ray bone phantom is provided. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining, via a processing system comprising one or more processors, dual-energy scan data from one or more dual-energy scans of an ex vivo bone phantom. The computer-implemented method also includes converting, via the processing system, the dual-energy scan data into a two-dimensional image. The computer-implemented method further includes printing, via the processing system, a semi-anthropomorphic X-ray bone phantom made of aluminum based at least on the two-dimensional image, wherein the semi-anthropomorphic X-ray bone phantom is configured to provide quantitative areal bone mineral density and a realistic projected bone morphology for image quality assessment and lateral distance measurements during calibration.
