RSD Half Angiographic Head Phantom with Step Wedge & Resolution Test Pattern (2-10 lp/mm)

Available in *Opaque or Transparent material, the RSD Half Angiographic Head Phantom with Step Wedge & Resolution Test Pattern (2-10 lp/mm) bridges the gap between physical and anatomical information requirements.

Features:

• Contains a 3-dimensional, 89+6 high-contrast vascular simulation
• Designed to facilitate correlation of the radiologist’s subjective evaluation of angiographic image quality
• Actual measurements of resolution and contrast under the same exposure conditions
• Purpose & Functionality
  • Provides a “dry run” to thoroughly evaluate angiographic equipment
  • It ensures that the system operates satisfactorily in all critical aspects before patient procedures
  • In case of imaging system malfunctions, the phantom is essential for isolating and verifying the resolution of issues
  • The phantom confines variables to equipment components and technique, aiding in troubleshooting
  • It has proven to be an invaluable tool for both service and educational purposes
• Design Highlights
  • Accurate male skull molded in soft-tissue equivalent material
  • Well-suited to non-grid techniques
  • Lighter weight, lower cost, and smaller size, easily fitting into a briefcase
  • Each phantom includes a 5-step wedge and a 2-10 line pair/mm test pattern
  • The combination of simulated vascular pattern, resolution chart, and step wedge enables users to:
    • Correlate physical parameters (e.g., resolution, contrast, speed) with subjective evaluations
    • Assess skull markings and vascular detail effectively
• Material
  • Utilizes a unique RSD soft-tissue equivalent material for skin tissue and neck
  • Adjusted to match brain density within the cranium
  • Closely replicates brain tissues in radio-absorptive and scattering properties
  • Virtually shatterproof for durability and repeated use
• Vascular Simulation
  
  • A high-contrast, three-dimensional vascular pattern is positioned in the median plane
  • The pattern closely resembles an early-phase internal carotid arteriogram
  • The radio-density of the angiographic pattern has been adjusted to represent a 75% contrast media
  • Designed for omnidirectional use

Applications:

• Teaching & training
• Image quality
• Dosimetry verification
• Protocol verification

Modalities: CT, X-Ray, and Fluoroscopy

*Available in Light, Medium Brown, or Dark Brown skin tone. Please specify your preferred skin tone.
