ABSTRACT:
Anthropomorphic phantoms for radiological testing, assessment and training are prepared by obtaining a radiograph of a body part to be simulated, translating the radiograph into densitometric data, translating the densitometric data into thickness data representing the thickness of a selected phantom material required to produce that density under conditions similar to those used to produce the original radiograph, and using the thickness data obtained to produce, for example by employing a numerically controlled milling machine, a three dimensional representation of those thicknesses on the selected material which matches the radiographic image forming characteristics of the original body part when imaged under similar conditions.
