Multi-energy CT Phantom, Sun Nuclear

To ensure the performance and consistency of your multi-energy scans, Sun Nuclear (formerly Gammex) developed the Multi Energy CT Phantom.

The phantom features 19 inserts representing different dimensions and concentrations of iodine, calcium, blood, adipose and other materials of particular interest to Multi-Energy CT (MECT). The phantom enables comprehensive tests of multi-energy CT performance.

AUTOMATED MATERIAL DISCRIMINATION

With this phantom, you can easily test material discrimination using solid rods representing iodine, calcium, blood, adipose, and more. Patented rod markers enable automated analysis to streamline this process.

ENSURE SCANNER EFFICACY & CONSISTENCY

But, you can also test the efficacy of your clinical protocols for multi-energy analysis and compare consistency and stability across different scanners

COMPREHENSIVE TESTING OF SCANNER PERFORMANCE

This CT phantom enables robust evaluation of the scanner’s performance.

These features include:

Material discrimination testing using solid rods representing iodine, calcium, blood, adipose, and more
Ensuring efficacy of clinical protocols for multi-energy analysis
Verifying quantitative accuracy of multi-energy scans
Comparing consistency and stability across different scanners
Checking for artifacts in an extended field-of-view
Testing in head (20 cm) and body (40 cm x 30 cm) configurations
Automating analysis with patent-pending rod marker technology
