ART phantoms are molded of tissue-equivalent material, they are designed within highly sophisticated technological constraints and follow ICRU-44 standards. They are also designed for accuracy and ease of use.
Features and Benefits
- Anatomy
- The ART phantom is transected-horizontally into 2.5 cm thick slices.
- Each slice has holes which are plugged with bone-equivalent, soft-tissue-equivalent or lung tissue equivalent pins which can be replaced by TLD holder pins.
- Soft-tissue-equivalent coatings produce slices with glass smooth interfaces.
- These coatings are cut away over the air spaces of the oronasal pharynges, trachea and stem bronchi.
- Dosimetry holes are drilled in grids 3cm x 3cm or 1.5cm x 1.5cm in 5 and 7 mm diameters.
- The Male ART Phantom represents a 175 cm (5 ft. 9 in.) tall, 73.5 kg (162 lb.) male.
- Materials
- Soft Tissues
- There are unlimited, small variations in density and absorption throughout the human body.
- Phantom soft tissue is closely controlled to have the average density of these tissues.
- Soft Tissues
- Assembly
- ART phantom slices are held between aluminum plates by nylon tie rods.
- Knobs at the end of the rods clamp the slices tightly in proper alignment.
- The external assembly facilitates film dosimetry, while the internal assembly is used generally with TLDs or ionchamber dosimetry.
