Registration-based Construction of a Whole-body Human Phantom Library for Anthropometric Modeling

Various computational human phantoms have been proposed in the past decades, but few of them include delicate anthropometric variations. In this study, we build a whole-body phantom library including 145 anthropometric parameters. This library is constructed by registration-based pipeline, which transfers a standard whole-body anatomy template to an anthropometry-adjustable body shape library (MakeHumanTM). Therefore, internal anatomical structures are created for body shapes of different anthropometric parameters. Based on the constructed library, we can generate individualized whole-body phantoms according to given arbitrary anthropometric parameters. Moreover, the proposed phantom library can also be converted to voxel-based and tetrahedron-based model for further personalized simulation. We hope this phantom library will serve as a computational tool in research community.
