Abstract
We introduce a hierarchical manufacturing method for creating anatomical phantoms using water-in-elastomer micro-emulsions. This approach addresses the cost, ethical, and technical limitations of animal models, providing a reliable alternative for multimodal imaging and artificial intelligence development, particularly in photoacoustic imaging.
