Abstract
We present in this paper, step by step procedure in obtaining Agar Phantom from Agar Powder and degassed water using specified bioinstruments, therewith subsequently demonstrate by the Step - Wise Transient Method (STM), how the manufactured (TMM) was utilized in identifying the thermal, and acoustic properties of the fabricated material. TMMs are materials which mimic human body tissues, and as human body tissues are not readily easy to come by, Agar Agar has been used for fabrication of this suitable alternative to simulate the properties of human body tissues in certain medium. Keywords: Phantom, Transducer, Agar, Ultrasound, Step - wise Transient Plane Source (STPS) Method. DOI: 10.7176/ISDE/12-1-05 Publication date: March 31 st 2021
Highlights
Phantoms or imaging phantoms are highly specialized objects used in medical imaging for quality control, equipment calibration, dosimetry and education
The Step - wise Transient Plane Source (STPS) Method was used in establishing the thermal property, while the Single Transducer method was used for the acoustic properties measurement of the fabricated Phantom
N/B: Hot Plate Method can be used in Agar Phantom fabrication, but Microwave approach was adopted to speed up the process
Summary
Phantoms or imaging phantoms are highly specialized objects used in medical imaging for quality control, equipment calibration, dosimetry and education. The following process lead to fabrication of Anthropomorphic Phantoms from Agar powder. The Step - wise Transient Plane Source (STPS) Method was used in establishing the thermal property, while the Single Transducer method was used for the acoustic properties measurement of the fabricated Phantom.
