Examining the influence of digital phantom models in virtual imaging trials for tomographic breast imaging
Our results point to the critical need to evaluate realism in digital phantoms and ensure sufficient structural variations at spatial frequencies relevant to the intended task. Standardizing phantom generation and validation tools may help reduce discrepancies among independently conducted VITs for system or algorithmic optimizations.
