RSD Male ART Phantom with Cadaver Bones, Undrilled

The RSD Male ART Phantom with Cadaver Bones, Undrilled incorporates authentic human skeletal material to replicate real tissue density, bone structure, and attenuation characteristics with a fidelity that synthetic substitutes cannot match, delivering high-quality results from simulation through final delivery.

Features:

• Real cadaver bone provides the structural heterogeneity, density gradients, and material properties found in your actual patients
• Resulting in phantom-based QA that more faithfully mirrors clinical conditions, giving your team greater confidence in treatment plan verification and imaging system performance
• Designed within precise technological constraints and manufactured in full conformance with ICRU-44 standards
• Provides integrated testing of the entire treatment planning and delivery chain, from imaging and contouring to dose calculation and plan execution, in a single, streamlined workflow
• Available in different skin tones at no additional cost, from light to dark complexion
• Applications:
  • Organ-specific dosimetry for all dosimeters (TLD, OSL nanodots, MOSFET, film, ion chambers, and diodes)
  • IMRT organ dose distributions
• Modalities:
  • External beams in the 0.04 to 40 MeV
  • Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
  • Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
  • Gamma Knife
  • CyberKnife
  • CT
  • Cone Beam CT

Anatomy:

• Represents an average adult male of 5'9" (175 cm) in height and 162 lbs (73.50 kg) in weight
• Incorporate authentic cadaver bones, replacing synthetic bone-equivalent inserts with real skeletal material for accurate Hounsfield unit representation and true heterogeneous attenuation
• Sectioned transversely into 2.5 cm thick slices
• Slice surfaces are finished with a soft-tissue-equivalent coating, producing glass-smooth interfaces for precise geometric registration between sections
• Coatings are selectively removed over the air spaces of the oronasal pharynx, trachea, and stem bronchi to preserve anatomically accurate airway geometry

Materials:

• Soft Tissue: The phantom's soft-tissue-equivalent material is closely controlled to replicate the mean density of human soft tissues, in conformance with ICRU Report 44 specifications
• Skeleton:
  • This configuration incorporates authentic human cadaver bones, selected and prepared to match the anthropometric dimensions of the phantom’s soft-tissue molds
  • Cadaver bone provides accurate cortical bone density, intact trabecular (spongiosa) microarchitecture, and preserved marrow spaces, material properties that synthetic bone-equivalent substitutes cannot fully reproduce
  • Use of real skeletal material eliminates discrepancies in Hounsfield unit accuracy, heterogeneous attenuation, and cortical-to-trabecular density gradients that are inherent to polymer moldings, making this configuration the appropriate choice for dosimetric applications requiring the highest anatomical fidelity
• Lungs: Lung volumes are molded from syntactic foam with a specific gravity of 0.30 g/cc, providing a reproducible, low-density tissue-equivalent material consistent with average in vivo lung density

Assembly:

• Slices are secured between aluminum end plates using nylon tie rods with tightening knobs that clamp slices firmly in proper anatomical alignment
• Internal and External Assembly Features:
  • External assembly is designed to facilitate film dosimetry, providing unobstructed slice interfaces for planar dose measurement
  • Internal assembly is intended for use with TLD or ion chamber dosimetry, supporting point-dose and volumetric measurements within the phantom volume

Breast Attachments:*
