Abstract Impending challenges in radiation dose estimation in patients especially in radiotherapy and nuclear medicine are of great concern. There is an urgent need to employ a human-like medium for verification before any radiation-related treatment or procedure to safeguard the patient and to ensure accuracy and efficiency of the treatment given. Rhizophora spp. is among the extensively studied alternative phantom material besides the widely commercialized resin-based phantom. This paper serves to review the evolution of Rhizophora spp. as phantom material and recent development of Rhizophora spp. phantom in medical physics applications and radiation study.
