Abstract

Photoacoustic imaging holds promise in clinical applications, but lacks standardized testing methods. To overcome this, the International Photoacoustic Standardization Consortium (IPASC) assessed the fabrication reproducibility of a stable tissue-mimicking phantom material in an international multicenter study (n>15 centers). The material consists of mineral oil, polymer, ink, and titanium dioxide. Participating centers followed a recipe set up by the main site (Cambridge, UK) and returned samples for characterization. The results demonstrate promising reproducibility for acoustic, photoacoustic and optical properties. By performing this study, IPASC hopes to broaden the uptake of a stable phantom material, supporting system validation and testing.
