Abstract

The WHO reported an increasing trend in the number of new cases of breast cancer, making it the most prevalent cancer in the world. This fact necessitates the availability of highly qualified ultrasonographers, which can be achieved by the widespread implementation of training phantoms. The goal of the present work is to develop and test an inexpensive, accessible, and reproducible technology for creating an anatomical breast phantom for practicing ultrasound diagnostic skills in grayscale and elastography imaging, as well as ultrasound-guided biopsy sampling. We used FDM 3D printer and PLA plastic for printing an anatomical breast mold. We made a phantom using a mixture of polyvinyl chloride plastisol, graphite powder, and metallic glitter to simulate soft tissues and lesions. Various degrees of elasticity were imparted using plastisols of stiffness ranging from 3 to 17 on the Shore scale. The lesions were shaped by hand. The materials and methods used are easily accessible and reproducible. Using the proposed technology, we have developed and tested a basic, differential, and elastographic versions of the breast phantom. The three versions of the phantom are anatomical and intended for use in medical education: the basic version is for practicing primary hand–eye coordination skills; the differential one is for practicing the differential diagnosis skills; the elastographic version helps developing the skills needed for assessing the stiffness of tissues. The proposed technology allows the creation of breast phantoms for practicing hand–eye coordination and develop the critical skills for navigation and assessment of the shape, margins, and size of the lesion, as well as performing an ultrasound-guided biopsy. It is cost-effective, reproducible, and easily implementable, and could be instrumental in generating ultrasonographers with crucial skills for accurate diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in low-resource settings.
