Anthropomorphic Phantoms
Description
Radiation equivalent and anatomically correct realistic test subjects.
Product Description
The Heart/Thorax Phantom is ideal for evaluation of detectability, extent and severity of myocardial infarcts.This Phantom also provides valid assessment of mammoscintigraphy techniques.The Striatal Phantom optimizes quantitative imaging in patients, using PET or SPECT.
Myocardial perfusion SPECT is a widely-used, non-invasive method for the diagnosis and management of patients with coronary disease. However, non-uniform photon attenuation, Compton scatter, limited and depth-dependent spatial resolution, as well as image noise, limit the ability of SPECT to obtain images that reliably represent the true tracer distribution. The non-uniform attenuation of the thorax is the most significant factor limiting the diagnostic efficacy of myocardial SPECT.
Obviously, further improvements in both hardware and software for myocardial SPECT are necessary before this important diagnostic technique can realize its full potential. These improvements must be carefully evaluated on realistic, anthropomorphic phantoms to improve results in clinical practice. Anthropomorphic phantoms support evaluation of attenuation, scatter and resolution correction methods.

The Head
The Head Phantom is based upon a standard head with a calvarial cut to insert or remove the brain shell easily. The nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses are filled with foam with a mass density of 0.23 g/cc.
Product Code
NM-5220 - RS900T Striatal Phantom Head with Transparent Brain & Striatum The brain shell has five compartments which can be filled separately: left and right nucleus caudate, left and right putamen, and the remainder of the brain. This allows different nucleus caudate to putamen ratios as well as different striatal to background ratios to be obtained; this also permits differences between left and right striatal activity to be examined.
