Abstract

We propose a novel and accessible approach for fabricating thin phantoms with controllable absorption properties in terms of magnitude, spectral shape, and spatial distribution. The method involves a standard laser printer to print on thin polyurethane films emulating optical properties of biological tissue. We characterize the thin phantoms in terms of optical properties, thickness, microscopic structure, and reproducibility of the printing process. We argue that these thin phantoms hold potential for a wide range of biomedical applications and will discuss their potential application in transcutaneous bilirubinometry performance studies.
