Riassunto
The first goal of this work is to present voxelized digital phantoms that summarize main features that can be found in tumor microvasculature. The anatomical shape obtained is the result of a process of interpretation, translation and simplification, from natural to technical design, considering also the limitations of current technology.
The second goal is using the synthetic microvasculature embedded into volumetric images to test, optimize and improve codes written for a high-resolution preclinical imaging system called Single Photon Emission Microscope (SPEM), developed for imaging small laboratory animals at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA).
