Phantom
Development of new materials most similar to human bones
The 3D printed BONE filament has a density similar to that of human tissue and can output anatomical models.
Develop new materials most similar to human bones and compare them with actual human CT images
BONE Pilates has characteristics similar characteristics similar to bone.

To implement the CT number of human fat
Through research with filament manufacturer Petella
Fat filaments similar to human tissue density were developed.
Research on filament fabrication for medical 3D printers and application of human skeletal phantoms.
This study addresses the challenge of finding suitable materials that accurately mimic human tissues' density and radiation characteristics in medical imaging. By overcoming these limitations, we aim to enhance the realism and functionality of phantoms used in X-rays and CT scans.

Introducing an economical and human tissue-similar X-ray phantom that can replace the existing expensive phantoms! In this study, we successfully developed a phantom that precisely reproduces the CT numbers of actual human bones and soft tissues by utilizing CT data and cutting-edge 3D printing technology. This phantom has proven its usability in educational institutions and medical services, and provides an innovative and practical alternative for medical training and research.

Filament and Phantom Testing
Measurement of CT number by filament
To measure the CT number of the filament sold in the market, after modeling with a cylindrical model, measure the CT number...
Human exhaustive fan pulse output and CT number output
The femur is modeled and output using DICOM files whose personal information is anonymized through the development of filaments that can implement bone-like CT numbers among human tissue density
Elbow fan production and useful evaluation
To create the Elbow Phantom, the filaments of the Elbow Phantom used Petella Korea's Bone Filament to represent the Arctic bone, Ultimaker's Tough PLA to represent Skin, and Ultimaker's Nylon Filament to represent the Medium space. Paraffin Wax was melted and used to represent fat
Manufacturing and Evaluation of Knee Joint CT Phantom Using 3D Printer
In order to express a phantom similar to the human tissue equivalent, it was output using Skin, Fat, Soft Tissue, and Bone filament (Petella, Korea). In the case of the skin and soft tissue filaments, it was made of PBT-based polymer and barium sulfate (BaSO4), and in the case of the Fat filament, it was made of gelatin. In the case of the Bone filament, additives such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were used to express radiation impermeability.
