List of the constructed phantoms. C refers to a cylindrical phantom and A is used for the anthropomorphic ones. Note that phantom A1 contains no inclusions, i.e., it was constructed just for control purposes. Sizes and depths of the inclusions were chosen to lie inside the detectability limits for DOI (see for example [32]). Diameters and depths are given in mm.
