Abstract
- Optically scattering phantoms composed of silica microspheres embedded in an optically clear silicone matrix were manufactured using a previously developed method. Multiple problems, such as sphere aggregation, adsorption to the cast, and silicone shrinkage, were, however, frequently encountered. Solutions to these problems were developed and an improved method, incorporating these solutions, is presented. The improved method offers excellent reliability and reproducibility for creating phantoms with uniform scattering coefficient. We also present evidence of decreased sphere aggregation.
