Phantom Repository
The UWCEM Numerical Breast Phantom Repository contains a number of anatomically-realistic MRI-derived numerical breast phantoms for breast cancer detection and treatment applications. The breast tissues in these phantoms have the realistic ultrawideband dielectric properties reported in Lazebnik, et al, Phys. Med. Biol., 2007.
Read the instruction manual first. A start-to-finish example of uploading a phantom onto CST can be downloaded here.
Also find here the 3D-printable phantom as described by Burfeindt et al in MRI-Derived 3-D Printed Breast Phantom for Microwave Breast Imaging Validation.

3D-Printable Phantom
The following stereolithography file was derived from the the Class 3 phantom (I.D. 062204) in the UWCEM Numerical Breast Phantom Repository, as described by Burfeindt et al in MRI-Derived 3-D Printed Breast Phantom for Microwave Breast Imaging Validation
This file may be directly fed to a 3D printer.
