Assessment of an Anthropomorphic Ultrasound Breast Phantom

Authors: , , ,

Abstract: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the acoustical properties of agar-based (polysaccharide gel) anthropomorphic breast phantom for use in diagnostic ultrasonography. The agar breast phantom was included tissue mimicking (TM) non adipose glandular tissue and tissue mimicking (TM) fat. The agar phantom was fabricated using a range of temperatures of 15℃ to 35℃ with different composition of anise oil. The sound speed and acoustic impedance of the agar phantom were determined. The result of sound speed of agar phantom was observed to increase within the range of 1407 ms^-1 to 1624 ms^-1 with the increase the temperature of phantom from 15℃ to 35℃. In addition, the sound speed for different concentration of anise oil was increased in the range of 1519 ms^-1 to 1562 ms^-1 when the concentration of anise oil decreases. The acoustic impedance of agar phantom was decreased by increasing the percentage of anise oil. These results indicate that the agar material phantom is suitable for using in ultrasound imaging applications.
