Ass.-Prof. Dr. Sepideh Hatamikia wrote a new paper in the 'Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik' journal (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/zeitschrift-fur-medizinische-physik) with the title ‘Additively manufactured test phantoms for mimicking soft tissue radiation attenuation in CBCT using Polyjet technology’. In this study, a novel approach was proposed for building cost-effective imaging phantoms for Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) using a modified Polyjet additive manufacturing technology where a single material can mimic a range of human soft-tissue radiation attenuation. The printed test phantoms produced a grey value spectrum equivalent to the radiation attenuation of human soft tissues in the range of −757 to +286 HU on CT. The study shows that additive manufacturing-guided macrostructure manipulation modifies successfully the radiographic visibility of a material in CBCT imaging with 1 mm3 resolution, helping customization of imaging phantoms.
