description

Various computational human phantoms have been proposed in the past decades, but few of them include delicate anthropometric variations. In this study, we build a whole-body phantom library including 145 anthropometric parameters. This library is constructed by registration-based pipeline, which transfers a standard whole-body anatomy template to an anthropometry-adjustable body shape library (MakeHuman™). Therefore, internal anatomical structures are created for body shapes of different anthropometric parameters. Based on the constructed library, we can generate individualized whole-body phantoms according to given arbitrary anthropometric parameters. Moreover, the proposed phantom library can also be converted to voxel-based and tetrahedron-based model for further personalized simulation. We hope this phantom library will serve as a computational tool in research community.
