A CT phantom is a special device used to evaluate and confirm the performance of a CT scanner. It is designed to simulate specific characteristics of the human body, allowing evaluation of various core metrics such as radiation dose and image quality. It also supports calibration to ensure consistent scanner performance. The
collaboration combines Stratasys’ PolyJet(TM) technology with proprietary RadioMatrix(TM) technology and uses Siemens Healthcare’s advanced algorithms to identify scanned patient images with
radiolucent body structures. Convert to material properties. This solution enables custom-made phantom manufacturing, enabling the creation of hyper-realistic human anatomical features with full fluoroscopic accuracy of patient-specific pathology not previously possible. Masu.
This collaborative project will transform the way phantoms are used in the medical field and, in some cases, even enable medical device manufacturers and academic institutions to replace human remains with 3D printed objects. This ability enables important efficiencies and minimizes inevitable human variation. This work will also generate important research data, advance CT system algorithms, accelerate materials development, and provide future research opportunities as well as important insights to unlock potential new application areas. To do.
Erez Ben Zvi, VP of Medical Affairs at Stratasys, said: “The limitations of current imaging phantoms have long been a challenge for the radiology community. Through our partnership with Siemens Healthcare, we are excited to jointly explore the great potential of our radiopaque materials and 3D printing technology. , it becomes possible to overcome these barriers.”

This research started with 3D printing of a small-scale anatomical structure phantom in the head and neck region, and gradually progressed to 3D printing of larger and more complex anatomical structures. We plan to reach the point where we can 3D print the entire human torso with perfect X-ray fluoroscopic precision. “The knowledge gained in this project provides a breakthrough in medical imaging that opens up new applications for 3D printing and imaging. As a result of this partnership, we are excited about the possibilities ahead of us. We are excited and believe it will have long-term impact in medical and academic applications.”
