Interventional Triple-Modality 3D Abdominal Phantom
Nuclear Associates Model 84-057
Needle not included
- Mimics human tissue for MRI,
ultrasound and CT
- Designed for training, quality control
and demonstrating scan techniques
Introduction
This anthropomorphic phantom is made from proprietary materials which accurately mimic human tissues under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT). It is designed for image-guided interventional procedures.
Applications
The phantom contains simulated lungs, liver, hepatic vessels, ribs, vertebra, kidneys, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, muscle fat and interstitial tissues. Embedded within the lung and liver are simulated lesions available in a range of sizes and relative contrasts.
Each phantom is protected by a fat-equivalent urethane membrane and ABS
end-caps. These features make the phantom durable enough for extended scanning sessions and enable insertion of various surgical instruments, as needed.Features
- Improve performance of freehand abdominal biopsies
- Test new equipment
- Validate automated biopsy systems
- Demonstrate CT, ultrasound and MRI scan techniques
- Optimize imaging protocols
Specifications
Material Zerdine®*, urethane, epoxy, and ABS
Dimensions 28 (w) x 12.5 (d) x 20 cm (h)
Weight 12 lb (5.5 kg)

84-057 Interventional Triple-Modality 3D Abdominal Phantom
Mini CT QC Phantom
Model 76-430
- Lightweight, compact, and extremely portable
- Ideal for field service use
- Used with any CT scanner, for measurement and analysis of all
major CT scanner functions and radiation dose
- Makes inhomogeneity corrections in radiation oncology
Introduction
This highly versatile phantom is designed for routine monitoring of the consistency of all the major parameters of computed tomography (CT) image quality and radiation dose. Its unique, compact design allows for unparalleled portability, easy set up and reliable parameter determinations. It is perfect for use by physicists, technologists and service engineers.Applications
The disc section consists of a 1 inch thick Lucite® disc with a 6 inch diameter. The six large holes are for the placement of inserts for evaluation of CT number consistency and evaluation of image resolution. The four small holes are for inserting an ion chamber at different locations within the phantom. Lucite inserts are provided to fill the four small holes, when necessary. The disc section is attached to a rectangular acrylic bar containing a thin copper wire embedded along a central groove. This section of the phantom is used to evaluate laser beam alignment and accuracy of slice thickness, slice spacing, slice contiguity, and pilot scan to transverse (longitudinal) scan correspondence. This is achieved by exposing a non-screen film (such as Flex Film Cassettes, listed below) placed underneath the phantom, and making several cuts while the phantom is advanced along the gantry in a pre-programmed manner.Accurately evaluates:
Specifications
- Laser beam alignment
- Slice thickness, spacing, and contiguity
- Table movement
- CT numbers and noise level
- CT number uniformity
- Relative radiation dose
- Video monitor and image processing equipment
- Scout and axial scan correspondence
- High contrast resolution
- Low contrast resolution (with optional insert)
Dimensions 6 inch Ø, 1 inch thick, with six 1.125 inch through-holes and four 0.50 inch through-holesLucite disk The Lucite disk is attached to the side of the base by two removable nylon, slotted screws
Inserts Phantom is supplied with seven inserts for 1.125 inch holes; 1 each of: Plastic Water®, bone-equivalent, polystyrene, polycarbonate,
polyethylene, nylon, and one acrylic high-contrast resolution insert
Lucite base 11.94 inch long x 1.81 inch wide x 0.69 inch thick, with copper wire (approx. 0.020 inch) fixed into a 0.020 inch
deep groove centered on the base
Weight 3 lb (1.36 kg)
Optional accessoriesLow Contrast Resolution Insert (Model 76-430-1000): designed for determining the CT unit’s ability to detect slight differences
in contrast. Two materials with very similar CT numbers are incorporated into the low contrast resolution insert to assess the low
contrast detection capability of the unitTeflon® and Lung Inserts (Models 76-430-2000 and 76-430-3000): these inserts provide the CT number and density
that are important when treatment planning parameters are being established for radiation therapy patients
Teflon-Bone Semi-Ring (Model 76-430-4000): this accessory is used as a beam hardening ring for simulating clinical conditions.
The ring has been machined to slide easily over the phantom, so that each of the inserts will have the effect of beam hardening
