Project description
Technological development of anthropomorphic 3D breast models
Early diagnosis of breast cancer is a critical factor that improves chances of patient survival. The creation of anthropomorphic 3D models of the breast is necessary for research and training purposes in the detection of lesions, image processing, the creation of reconstruction algorithms and the replacement of real breast in virtual clinical studies. The EU-funded PHENOMENO project will set up an international research network for the development of production technology for physical breast models based on computational analysis. The overall goal is to utilise the expertise of engineers, anatomists, physicists and X-ray imaging specialists to improve research training and enable knowledge transfer from research to practice through international collaborations and staff exchange.
Objective
Breast cancer is the most common incident form of cancer among women bellow seventy years of age. Early diagnosis is recognized as a critical factor that improves the chance of survival. In this research, anthropomorphic physical three-dimensional models of the breast are necessary, whenever a real tissue background is required to investigate the detectability of lesions, the performance of image processing algorithms, the reconstruction algorithms, the whole imaging chain and to replace real breast in virtual clinical studies. Manufacturing of such phantoms, however, is still not widely accepted due to cost and challenges of current 3D technology, limited number of suitable printing materials and availability of anthropomorphic computational models. This project aims to form an international network of organizations working on a joint research programme on the development of a complete technology for the production of physical models of the breast based on their computational models. The overall goal is to utilize partners’ experience and expertise to improve research, researcher training and skills and increase knowledge transfer from research to practice, which will be achieved through international and intersectoral collaboration and staff exchange. Expected results are related to new methodology for design of anthropomorphic breast phantoms, new methodology for producing materials and a methodology for development of a prototype of complete equipment and relevant technology for the fabrication of realistic breast phantoms, structures or part of them including health and cancerous tissues. An application in x-ray imaging is targeted. The consortium is with an expertise in rapid prototyping technology, modelling, validating and use of anthropomorphic phantoms, software and hardware design. Joining the efforts of engineers, anatomists, physicists, x-ray imaging specialists in this project will guarantee the successful implementation of the project aims.
