Pro-NM PETsensi Phantom

The Pro-NM PETsensi Phantom is used to measure the sensitivity or ability of positron emission tomographs to detect positrons. The phantom used for this purpose is a set of five metal tubes with a similar wall thickness. A plastic tube homogeneously filled with 18F liquid is inserted for the measurement. Successive measurements are made by accumulating the sleeve wall thickness with the uniform line source surrounded by known absorbers. From these measurements, the sensitivity without absorbers can be extrapolated to arrive at an attenuation free measurement. The measurement setup, data collection and analysis are described in section 5 of the NEMA standard NU 2-2007.

The Pro-NM PETsensi Phantom is compatible with Diagnomatic QC Solutions,a web-based service that makes it possible to easily organize and manage the quality control of any number of diagnostic imaging systems. The platform supports a DICOM protocol that allows seamless integration with your hospital IT system making data transfer safe and easy. The Pro-NM PET BASIC Kit are versatile sets of phantoms and software for carrying out constancy tests of radiography and fluoroscopy units. Thanks to the Diagnomatic subscription, all tests can be quickly and effortlessly automatically analyzed online and with the desktop app.
