Acrylic Phantoms for Diagnostic X-Ray 76-2   Phantoms conform to AAPM recommendations contained in Report #31, "Standardized Methods for Measuring Diagnostic X-Ray Exposure." Patient-equivalent acrylic and aluminum phantoms provide the necessary attenuation between the source and AEC or ABC detectors Helps you comply with JCAHO requirements for radiographic exposure measurements These phantoms are recommended in AAPM Report # 60, "Instrumentation Requirements of Diagnostic Radiological Physicists" JCAHO requires that x-ray exposure measurements be determined for commonly used projections in all radiographic suites. In order to provide this information when using Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) or Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) systems, specifically designed phantoms must be used. Attenuating material must be used between the source and AEC or ABC detectors. Since these detectors are energy dependent, measurement of skin entrance exposure requires the use of patient-equivalent phantoms for meaningful results. AAPM Report #31 recommends the use of four special phantoms for use in diagnostic x-rays. These acrylic and aluminum phantoms are patient-equivalent, and are specifically designed to conform to the AAPM recommendation.   Model Name Description 76-211 Chest X-Ray Phantom Consists of four sheets of 25 cm x 25 cm x 2.3 cm clear acrylic, one sheet of 25 cm x 25 cm x 1 mm and one sheet of 25 cm x 25 cm x 2 mm type-1100 high-purity aluminum, and spacers to provide a 5.08 cm air gap; Weighs 8 kg (17.5 lb) 76-212 Abdomen/Lumbar Spine Phantom Consists of five sheets of 25 cm x 25 cm x 2.3 cm and one sheet of 25 cm x 25 cm x 5.08 cm clear acrylic to achieve a 17.78 cm thick phantom.
