The Pro-CT mk II phantom may be used for carrying out acceptance and constancy tests of computed tomography systems according to IEC 61223-3-5 and the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine) guidelines. This phantom consists of several test modules placed inside a cylindrical container that can be mounted either directly on a holder of the CT table or on an adjustable stand. It allows accurate alignment for measurements on and off the table. Markings on the phantom and leveling aids provide further facilitation of the positioning process.
Pro-CT mk II performs the following tests:- Geometric distortion
- CT number (HU) measurement
- Noise / Uniformity
- Artefacts
- MTF
- SSP,LSF,PSF
- CNR
- Spatial resolution
- Spatial resolution in Z dimension
- Contrast resolution
- Low contrast resolution
- Slice profile
- Alignment
- Linearity
- Beamwidth
- Main module contains PMMA section with an array of holes 2mm in diameter, 4mm deep, placed at 10mm intervals,
- Outside diameter 230mm,
- Length 250mm,
- Optional External Beam Hardening Rings:
- 380mm outside diameter (04-417)
- 350mm outside diameter (04-418)
- 300 - 380mm outside oval diameter (04-419)
- 450 - 550mm outside oval diameter (04-420)
- Positioning stand for on and off table measurements
- Carrying Case
- Diameter: 210mm
- Thickness 30mm
- Made of PMMA
- Contains three groups of low-contrast objects. In each group, there are rods of the same density, 20 mm in height and with a diameter ranging from 2 to 15 mm. Contrast difference between groups and surrounding material is 0.3, 0.6 and 1%
- Optional subslice targets having a nominal 1.0% contrast and z-axis lengths of 3, 5, and 7 mm. For each of these lengths, there are objects of 3, 5, 7 and 9 mm in diameter (04-411)

- Thickness: 30 mm
- Contains 9 sensitometric samples shaped like rods (ø25 mm): PTFE, PE-300, POM-C, ABS, PA-6, PET, air, water and PMMA – modules body
- Optional insert with 3 Ti rods 5mm in diameter (04-415)
- Diameter: 210mm
- Thickness 30mm
- Contains two pairs of aluminium wire ramps whose slope angle tangent is equal to 0.5.
- Middles of ramps intersect on the same plane allowing very precise evaluation of the slice location
- Contains 8 rods from the air in the vertices of the regular octagon close to the outer perimeter of the phantom for evaluating symmetry and circular geometry
- Optional eight spheres to evaluate the scanner’s imaging of subslice spherical volumes, diameters: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 mm (04-413)
