  Acrylic X-ray Phantom

Introduction

The Acrylic Modular X-ray Phantom is made up of a series of acrylic and aluminum plates that provide the various attenuation characteristics of various body part thicknesses. The variation in the number of acrylic plates and/or spacers simulate either a standard chest, abdomen, skull or extremity.

The acrylic phantoms conform to AAPM recommendations noted in Report #31 (Standardized Methods for Measuring Diagnostic X-ray Exposure); and also those noted in Report #60 (Instrumentation Requirements for Diagnostic Radiological Physicists).

The Phantom set is also useful for making exposure technique charts for commonly used projections. The latter has been a long standing requirement of the JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations).

These phantoms are ideal for adjusting Automatic Exposure Controls and Automatic Brightness Controls on Diagnostic and Fluoroscopic Systems.
