The Anthropomorphic Torso Phantom is designed to provide an accurate simulation of an average male torso for medical imaging applications. The removable organs enable flexibility in the placement of TLD’s, contrast agents, etc.. The epoxy materials used to fabricate the phantom provide optimal tissue simulation in the diagnostic energy range (40 keV to 20 MeV).
Provides standard of reference for Micro-CT scanner
Model 090
FEATURES • 25 mg/cc - 750 mg/cc targets • Lung target • Optimal for Micro-CT
TThe CIRS Model 090, MicroMouse Phantom, provides a tool for quantifying calcium and bone density with respect to x-ray attenuation and absorption properties. Hydroxyapatite (HA), the principal constituent of teeth and bones within mammals, is the most appropriate reference for mineral density evaluations. CIRS blends HA in a soft-tissue equivalent, polymer background to provide references which can range in HA loading between 0 mg/cc and 750 mg/cc. Hydroxyapatite grain size and homogeneity of the rods are optimized for use in Micro-CT.
The MicroMouse Phantom contains 11 rods of varying mineral loading and dimension. The rods are embedded in soft tissue equivalent material that is of the size and shape of a small rodent.
The Model 090 can be used to evaluate Micro-CT scanners as you would standard whole body scanners. The targets are suitable for determining contrast detectability and estimating low-contrast resolution.
