RSD Computed Tomography Dose Index Quality Assurance Phantom
Product Description
The RSD Computed Tomography Dose Index Quality Assurance Phantom is a high-quality tool designed for the precise measurement and evaluation of CT dose indices (CTDI) in medical imaging: DI (dose index), CTDI100 (center and peripheral), CTDIw (weighted CTDI100), CTDIvol (weighted CTDIw), and CTDIfree air.
Features:
- Two Large PMMA Cylinders - Simulates adult head and body with a supplemental pediatric head that fits within the adult head and is sold separately. The adult head section is designed to nest inside the body section for realistic imaging evaluations
- Safety and Efficacy - Assess and monitor CT scans safely and efficiently to help safeguard patient health
- Optimal Performance - Ensures optimal performance in both clinical and research environments
- Exceptional Accuracy - Ensures precise, consistent CTDI measurements for regulatory compliance and quality assurance in assessing patient radiation exposure
- Comprehensive Measurement Capabilities - Measures CTDIw, CTDIvol, and DLP for effective dose management across protocols
- User-Friendly Interface - Simple setup with clear instructions for quick use by operators of all experience levels
- Advanced Material Construction - Durable, tissue-mimicking materials for accurate dose distribution assessment
- Flexible Design - Accommodates various CT scanner models and adapts to different scanning protocols
- Alignment markers
- Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plugs - For plugging the holes when not in use
