Abstract:
A lung motion phantom device and method of operation. The device has a body having an outer shell and a lung insert, a first actuator connected to a first drive linkage for driving a first displacement of an internal volume of the lung insert and an outer surface of the outer shell in a first direction, a second actuator connected to a second drive linkage for driving a second displacement of the internal volume of the lung insert and the outer surface of the outer shell in a second direction different than the first direction, and a controller programmed to control the first and second actuators such that the first and second displacements simulate movement of an external surface and an interior of a thoracic region of a patient.
