About QRM

Phantoms for your needs

We look back on more than 25 years of experience in designing and manufacturing phantoms for medical imaging modalities. Our first products were designed for lung imaging in Computed Tomography (CT) and bone densitometry in DXA and CT.
Since starting manufacturing phantoms in the early '90s, our range of phantoms has increased substantially over the years. Today, we offer products for different imaging modalities in clinical routine, research, development and science, as well as customized and OEM products.

Our core competence: customized phantoms

Our engineers design dedicated phantoms for many applications in the field of medical imaging. Our customers are physicians, scientists and manufacturers all over the world. Interested? You are welcome to contact us for further information.

Our main focus is on developing products for diagnostic X-ray, CT and micro-CT imaging. We offer phantoms to analyze image quality (IQ), calibrate HU-levels as well as for dosimetry issues.

High Quality Tissue Equivalent Materials

Anthropomorphic phantoms are physical test objects simulating anatomical structures of the body, which makes them easier and more convenient to use. Some phantoms provide equivalent properties as the real human body does, e.g., organs, such as lung, liver, fat, bone. This is an advantage in X-ray imaging due to dose issues – medical devices can be thus tested without using human volunteers.

Physical parameters of such devices can be tested as well in a more physical or technical way, for example the spatial resolution of a system can be tested with a wire in a cylindrical phantom to create a MTF, or with a high resolution bar pattern as well for visible testing.

Professionally designed and manufactured with highest precision

QRM phantoms are professionally designed and manufactured with highest precision. The components are carefully selected and adapted to the specific imaging modality.
Our machinery uses the latest technology to produce and manufacture phantoms with high accuracy.

Standard as well as custom-made phantoms undergo a quality control test according to their use. Therefore, different types of medical imaging devices (e.g. DXA, CT, C-arm, Micro-CT, MRI, etc.) are used for our test setups.
