Spectral CT Phantom

Suitable for PHOTON COUNTING CT protocols in addition to all available spectral CT protocols

Photon Counting CT

Spectral CT phantom is designed to test different types of CT systems with dual-energy, multi-energy or photon counting setups.  

Iodine / CaHA Levels

The phantom is equipped with a set of 12 inserts including different concentrations of Iodine and Ca-Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) as well as water- and soft tissue-equivalents.

AAPM TG-299

The phantom complies with the AAPM TG-299 report and is suitable for establishing quality assurance (QA) programmes for various MECT technologies in clinics. 

Spectral CT Phantom II (QRM-10147) with Thorax Phantom (QRM-20100) Interactive

Combination with Thorax Phantom
Spectral CT II Phantom (QRM-10147)
8 holes and multiple test inserts
Combination with Thorax Phantom

Thorax Phantom (QRM-20100)

The Thorax Phantom is used as (semi-)anthropomorphic surrounding for Spectral CT Phantom. It comprises artificial lung lobes, a spine insert, and a shell of soft tissue-equivalent material.

The plastics used mimic human tissues with respect to density and X-ray attenuation characteristics of a human thorax.

It is also possible to combine the Spectral CT Phantom with the Abdomen Phantom (QRM-20118).

Spectral CT II Phantom (QRM-10147)

Spectral CT II Phantom

Test different types of CT modalities with dual-energy, multi-energy or photon-counting setups.

Test the accuracy and consistency of spectral CT

Test the scanner performance

Perform a material characterization and quantification of tissue-equivalent materials

Decompose Iodine and CaHA levels

Test the post-processing techniques of spectral CT

8 holes and multiple test inserts

Flexible positioning of the multiple test inserts

A set with a total of 12 test rods includes different concentrations of Iodine and Ca-Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) as well as water- and soft tissue-equivalents (adipose, muscle, bone, and lung according to ICRU Report 44 and 46)

1x ICRU Adipose tissue

1x ICRU Muscle tissue

1x ICRU Lung tissue

1x ICRU Liver tissue

4 different solid Iodine rods (CTIodine)

4 different CaHA rods (bone)

2 fillable rods/tubes

Additionally, inserts with other concentrations or materials can be ordered optionally.

Convenient testing of Spectral CT protocols

8 holes for the set of solid test rods

The 100 mm cylinder contains 8 holes (QRM-10147) with 20 mm diameter to house different solid rods and fillable tubes that can be used with water or contrast media.
The set of 12 solid test rods includes different concentrations of Iodine and Ca-Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) as well as water- and soft tissue-equivalents (adipose, muscle, bone, and lung according to ICRU Report 44 and 46). Mass density, electron density and the effective atomic number are provided for all materials.

D100 compatible

The diameter of the Spectral CT Phantom is 100 mm, so it can be used with our other phantoms such as Thorax Phantom (QRM-20100), Abdomen Phantom (QRM-20118), Oval Body Phantom, Tissue (QRM-20115), Oval Body Phantom, CTwater (QRM-20116).
 
It is also possible to use the combination (e.g. Thorax Phantom + Spectral CT Phantom) together with water-equivalent extension rings (QRM-10141, diameter: 160 mm or QRM-10142, diameter: 320 mm) to simulate adipose.
