Pro-CT AAPM Phantom


Price: Call JRT for Pricing


The Pro-CT AAPM Phantom may be used for carrying out tests of computed tomography systems according to Report no. 1 of the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine).

Technical data (can be modified to customer specifications):
  • PMMA water tank:
    • Inside cylinder diameter: 214 mm
    • Outside cylinder diameter: 220 mm
    • Lid has quick disconnect valves for ease of filling and draining
    • Aluminum alignment pin (6.3 mm Ø x 76 mm) or a polystyrene TLD insert (for dose measurements) can be attached to the lid
  • Low contrast section:
    • Placed at one end of the water tank
    • 12 fillable cavities 40mm deep
    • Two pieces of each cavity with diameters: 25.4, 19.0, 12.7, 9.5, 6.4 and 3.2 mm
    • Spaced twice their diameter apart from the centerline
    • Cavities can be easily filled from the outside with dextrose or sodium chloride solutions of various concentrations
  • Bone insert:
    • PTFE annulus
    • Wall thickness 6.4 mm, 70 mm long
    • Fits over all inserts to harden the beam
  • CT number linearity insert:
    • Five 25 mm rods
    • Material: polyethylene, PMMA (acrylic), polycarbonate, polystyrene and nylon
    • Density values (g/cm3): 0.95, 1.19, 1.20, 1.05 and 1.1 respectively
  • Resolution insert:
    • Eight sets / rows of air thru holes (five holes per set) 
    • Diameters of holes: 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 1.00, 0.75, 0.61, 0.50 and 0.40 mm
    • Distance between each hole is equal to the hole diameter
    • Distance between rows 5 mm
    • 0.2 mm stainless steel wire positioned longitudinally for calculation of line-spread function
  • Slice thickness insert: Three aluminum strips, 0.5 mm thick and 25 mm wide angled at 45°, positioned at the center and aligned vertically
  • Optional Geometry insert (04-503)
    • Contains two pairs of aluminum wire ramps whose slope angle tangent is equal to 0.5
    • Middles of ramps intersect on the same plane allowing for very precise evaluation of the slice location
    • Contains two sets of four PMMA rods (Ø 10mm) placed in vertexes of two squares (sides 100mm long)
  • Optional Triple low contrast insert (04-504)
    • Contains three groups of low-contrast objects. In each group, there are rods of the same density, 20mm in height and with a diameter ranging from 2 to 15mm. Density difference between groups and surrounding material is exactly 1, 2 and 3%
    • Made of PMMA
  • Optional whole body resolution and noise ring (04-505)
  • Optional heavy duty carrying case (04-502)
  • Complies with  Report no. 1 of the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine),  IEC 61223-3-5,  IEC 61223-2-6
  • CE certified
  • Manual provides detailed guidelines for carrying out each test, results assessment and registration
