Development of anatomically variable digital Wistar rat phantoms for small animal imaging research
The resulting anatomically variable digital phantoms will provide a valuable resource for preclinical imaging research, enabling the evaluation of imaging systems, optimization of imaging protocols, and validation of reconstruction algorithms across a representative range of anatomies. The demonstrated PCCT study highlights the potential of these phantoms for advancing virtual pre-clinical imaging trials.
