Fabrication methods of phantoms simulating optical and thermal properties
Résumé
The objective of this paper is to present fabrication methods of phantoms that simulate optical and thermal properties for different human tissues. This kind of phantom is very helpful for many biomedical research applications. For instance, it may be utilized in photothermal therapy of cancer. Therefore, it is intended to simulate optical properties in NIR (near infrared) range since this kind of therapy operates at this section of the spectrum. The existence of such phantoms is quite practical and useful once they replace real tissues. It has been utilized two materials to fabricate the phantoms: polyvinyl chloride-plastisol (PVC-P) and agar gel. In order to yield the different properties of each type of tissue, it is purposed to make layers of phantoms to reach this goal.
