As long as breast cancer remains a pervasive health concern, the need for ever-improving breast cancer imaging and radiation therapy technologies will exist. Design changes – to incorporate new hardware technologies or methods - may trigger the need for clinical trials to ensure safety and assess performance. Conducting a clinical trial is not only expensive, but often takes years for patient recruitment and study. Utilizing physical phantoms, rather than patients, would be faster, far less expensive, reduces risk to patients and potentially increases the speed with which life-saving technological advances are made available to the public. Currently, commercially available compressed and uncompressed breast phantoms do not produce realistic breast images; rather they provide basic breast shapes with no anatomical information. Utilizing access to a large data set (over 200) of three-dimensional real patient breast CT images at UC Davis, and a novel approach to phantom development, we propose to fill this need. In this Phase II SBIR project, we will develop, and commercialize, patient-derived anthropomorphic phantoms for use in diagnostic and radiation therapy applications. We will also investigate the utility of our core technology in developing anthropomorphic phantoms for prostate, brain, and lung imaging applications.

只要乳腺癌仍然是一个普遍的健康问题，就需要不断改进乳腺癌成像和放射治疗技术。设计变更-纳入新的硬件技术或方法-可能引发临床试验的需求，以确保安全性和评估性能。进行临床试验不仅昂贵，而且往往需要数年的患者招募和研究。利用物理幻影，而不是病人，会更快，更便宜，降低病人的风险，并可能加快拯救生命的技术进步提供给公众。目前，市售的压缩和未压缩乳房体模不能产生逼真的乳房图像;相反，它们提供基本的乳房形状，没有解剖信息。利用访问加州大学戴维斯分校的三维真实的患者乳腺CT图像的大数据集（超过200个），以及一种新的方法来开发幻影，我们提出了填补这一需求。在这个第二阶段SBIR项目中，我们将开发和商业化，患者衍生的拟人幻影用于诊断和放射治疗应用。我们还将研究我们的核心技术在开发用于前列腺、大脑和肺部成像应用的拟人幻影中的效用。
