X-Ray Characteristics of Materials for Modeling Human Torso Phantoms

Abstract

Materials for human torso phantom are selected for testing software in developing systems of intra-operational navigation based on 3D modeling with the technology of augmented reality. According to the Hounsfield scale, the X-ray density of the selected equivalent tissues lies in the range corresponding to certain groups of biological tissues. The reliability of the investigation is demonstrated by comparing 3D models of a real patient and a phantom made from the given material.
