  Fig. 1 (A) Tissue-mimicking (TM) phantom only (Group 1), penetration depth: 5.7 cm. (B) TM phantom+ polyethylene vinyl (Group 2), penetration depth: 3.2 cm. (C) TM phantom+polyethylene vinyl+120 µm hole (Group 3), penetration depth: 4.5 cm. (D) TM phantom+ polyethylene vinyl+430 µm hole (Group 4), penetration depth: 4.8 cm.
