In silico studies for ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) can allow to explore imaging system parameters and reconstruction methods, without the economic burden and ethical concerns of clinical trials. A framework is proposed for virtual imaging trials of USCT. First, an ensemble of three-dimensional numerical breast phantoms consisting of anatomically realistic tissue structures and lesions is created. Next, acoustic properties are assigned to each tissue-type within physiological ranges. Finally, USCT measurement data are computed by simulating acoustic wave propagation. The proposed framework will establish a standard pipeline for USCT virtual imaging trials and provide publicly available large-scale datasets
