Abstract

A 3D printed heart chamber phantom was developed to work combined with other commercially available phantom kit. Based on CT image combined with traditional phantom and anatomic structures, the 3D model was generated and input for printing with selected materials. The 3D printed phantom could realize multi-dimensional motion and deformation similarity, improved HU behavior as contrast enhanced tissue mimic, biological closed anthropomorphic structure including cardiac chambers and coronary arteries with contrast agents, as well as inserts for anatomic or functional abnormalities simulation. With those properties the proposed 3D printed phantom could potentially be used for either CCTA imaging performance or CCTA scan strategy verifications combined with scanner and patient properties.
