Pro-Project Pro-CT AAPM

The Pro-CT AAPM phantom can be used for carrying out tests of computed tomography systems according to Report no. 1 of the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine).



Features and Benefits

• Complies with:
  • Report no. 1 of the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine)
  • IEC 61223-3-5
  • IEC 61223-2-6
• CE certified
• The manual provides detailed guidelines for carrying out each test, results assessment and registration.
• PMMA Water Tank:
  • Lid has quick disconnect valves for ease of filling and draining
  • Aluminum alignment pin (Ш6.3 mm x 76 mm) or a polystyrene TLD insert (for dose measurements) can be attached to the lid
• Low contrast section:
  • Placed at one end of the water tank
  • 12 fillable cavities 40 mm deep
  • Two pieces of each cavity with diameters: 25.4, 19.0, 12.7, 9.5, 6.4 and 3.2 mm
  • Spaced twice their diameter apart from the centerline
  • Cavities can be easily filled from the outside with dextrose or sodium chloride solutions of various concentrations
• Bone Insert:
  • PTFE annulus – wall thickness 6.4 mm, 70 mm long – fits over all inserts to harden the beam
• CT Number Linearity Insert:
  • Five 25 mm Rods
  • Material: Polyethylene, PMMA (acrylic), polycarbonate, polystyrene and nylon
  • Density Values (g/cmі): 0.95, 1.19, 1.20, 1.05 and 1.1 respectively
• Resolution Insert:
  • Eight sets / rows of air thru holes (five holes per set)
  • Diameters of holes: 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 1.00, 0.75, 0.61, 0.50 and 0.40 mm
  • Distance between each hole is equal to the hole diameter
  • Distance between rows 5 mm
  • 0.2 mm stainless steel wire positioned longitudinally for calculation of line-spread function
• Slice thickness insert:
  • Three aluminum strips, 0.5 mm thick and 25 mm wide angled at 45°, positioned at the centre and aligned vertically
• Geometry insert (optional):
  • Contains two pairs of aluminium wire ramps whose slope angle tangent is equal to 0.5
  • Middles of ramps intersect on the same plane allowing for very precise evaluation of the slice location
  • Contains two sets of four PMMA rods (Ш 10mm) placed in vertexes of two squares (sides 100 mm long)
• Triple low contrast insert (optional):
  • Contains three groups of low-contrast objects. In each group, there are rods of the same density, 20 mm in height and with a diameter ranging from 2 to 15 mm. Density difference between groups and surrounding material is exactly 0.3%, 0.6% and 1.0%
  • Made of PMMA
• Filling tubes
• Optional heavy duty carrying case (04-502)
