Customizable optical tissue phantom platform for characterization of fluorescence imaging device sensitivity.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Optical tissue phantoms serve as inanimate and stable reference materials used to calibrate, characterize, standardize, and test biomedical imaging instruments. Although various types of solid tissue phantoms have been described in the literature, current phantom models are limited in that they do not have a depth feature that can be adjusted in real-time, they cannot be adapted to other applications, and their fabrication can be laborious and costly.

Aim

Our goal was to develop an optical phantom that could assess the imaging performance of fluorescence imaging devices and be customizable for different applications.

Approach

We developed a phantom with three distinct components, each of which can be customized.

Results

We present a method for fabr
