AbstractVenepuncture is one of the most common invasive procedures performed worldwide, however, complications still occur. Currently, commercial single layer silicone phantoms used for venepuncture training do not accurately imitate the geometry and mechanical properties seen in the various patient groups. This paper presents the development of a realistic artificial venepuncture phantom. Three multilayered tissue phantoms are developed simulating venepuncture sites of paediatric, adult and geriatric patients. Silicone materials of different stiffnesses were selected to imitate the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, muscle and superficial veins. Singleaxis indentation tests were carried out on silicone samples and the multi-layered phantom inserts to characterize the material properties. The measured Young's moduli for the artificial dermis, fat and muscle show sufficient agreement with corresponding literature values. However, characterization of the complete phantom inserts showed stiffnesses four times larger than prior in-vivo studies. Future studies will work on developing a more comparable in-vivo study.

Identification of tumour margins during resection of the brain is critical for improving the post-operative outcomes. Current methods of tumour identification use 5-ALA, an exogenous precursor, metabolized to fluorescent PpIX in tumour tissue. Although visible under fluorescent microscope, PpIX is easily photo-bleached and tumour tagging is subjective, resulting in tumour under-resection and accelerated recurrence. To address this issue, photo-bleaching resistant and quantitative method is required. This study describes the characterization of a pulsed, multi-wavelengths system designed to measure diffuse reflectance and auto-fluorescence under strong ambient illumination conditions. The performance was tested on n = 400 liquid tissue phantoms containing a wide concentration range of absorber, scatterer and two fluorophores as well as on ex-vivo samples of gray and white matter. The background subtraction technique was shown to be efficient for a range of ambient illumination intensities. A linear relationship was observed between system response and predicted fluorophore concentrations as well as 97.8% accuracy of tissue classification by 5-fold cross-correlation, linear SVM.
