Frederick Research Centre team’s project focuses on the creation of a multipurpose, multimodality anthropomorphic phantom to aid in the medical imaging industry for tumors and cardiac diseases. With the intend to optimize the imaging of key thoracic motions, the phantom simulates diseases while also featuring a wide range of motions. This establishes clear images and allows medical professionals to advance the best treatment plan to their patients at reduced healthcare costs. It has already been tested for 1500-hours across three different modality-types in six hospitals (Cyprus & abroad), achieving a successful intercomparison with patient images and proving suitable to be included in medical device manufacturers’ lines, clinical training (Imaging Departments, Oncology Centers), research and academic use and software/Al developments.
