Development of an abdominal phantom for the validation of an oligometastatic disease diagnosis workflow.

Purpose: The liver is a common site for metastatic disease, which is a challenging and life-threatening condition with a grim prognosis and outcome. We propose a standardized workflow for the diagnosis of oligometastatic disease (OMD), as a gold standard workflow has not been established yet. The envisioned workflow comprises the acquisition of a multimodal image data set, novel image processing techniques, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided biopsy for subsequent molecular subtyping.
