Pediatric Thorax and Abdomen Phantom

• For image quality purposes and/or dose estimation
• Different sizes available (newborn, 1-, 3-, 6-, 12- or 15-years)
• Dosimetry versions available

The pediatric thorax and abdomen phantoms in the size of a newborn up to a young child are an excellent tool to validate IQ parameters or dose in a (semi-)anthropomorphic surrounding.

The anthropomorphic-shaped phantoms cover different ages and, hence, provide an opportunity for realistic measurements of dose and image quality in X-ray diagnostics.

The phantoms are designed to provide realistic organs and shapes. The Pediatric Thorax comprises artificial lung lobes and a spine insert embedded within a shell of soft tissue-equivalent material. The Pediatric Abdomen comprises a liver, a spleen and a spine insert embedded within a shell of soft tissue-equivalent material. Dose bores are positioned in accordance to the CTDI recommendations.

All materials used mimic the physical X-ray attenuation properties and density of real human tissues.

The pediatric phantoms house a central replaceable insert adjusted to the size of the phantom. A tissue-equivalent insert with dose bore is included. Optional image quality test inserts (e.g. low contrast, spatial resolution, etc.) can be requested as a custom-made solution.
