We have investigated a simplification procedure of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance test for mobile phones. In this paper, it is shown that maximum averaged SARs of a flat phantom and the SAM phantom are measured and compared for 38 mobile phones in the market in order to investigate on the applicability of using the flat phantom instead of the SAM phantom for the SAR measurement. ...

PURPOSE Develop a technique to fabricate a 3D anthropomorphic breast phantom with known ground truth for image quality assessment of 2D and 3D breast x-ray imaging systems. METHODS The phantom design is based on an existing computer model that can generate breast voxel phantoms of varying composition, size, and shape. The physical phantom is produced in two steps. First, the portion of the vo...

This chapter is supported by Grant MT-12052 and a research scholarship from the Medical Research Council of Canada. After an amputation many patients awake from the anesthesia feeling certain that the operation has not been performed. They feel the lost limb so vividly that only when they reach out to touch it, or peer under the bed sheets to see it, do they realize it has been cut off. This ph...
