Abstract
In this paper, we present our process for developing digital cranial phantom for newborns that may be used to simulate MR images of the brain. Adult brain is foundation for several popular digital brain phantoms like BrainWeb. As more people become interested in using computer-aided methods for analyzing neonatal MR images, a demand for digital spectre & brain MR image simulator develops. This 3D digital brain phantom is comprised of 10 volumetric data sets which characterize spatial distribution of various tissues, having voxel intensity inversely correlated to amount of tissue contained inside the voxel. It is possible to simulate head tomography with help of digital brain phantom. This article discusses development of 3D digital infant neurocranial phantom & its application to the modeling of brain MR images.These pictures, with carefully orchestrated data deterioration, provide a typical, repeatable data set suitable for testing and training analytical techniques for neonatal MRI, such as segment & recognition algorithms.
