Nuclear imaging test phantom

torso

Description
The Jaszczak Deluxe flangeless phantom is a cylindrical phantom designed to evaluate the performance of high-resolution SPECT and PET systems. Its flangeless configuration simplifies positioning and enhances reproducibility of acquisitions. Recommended by the ACR, it is used for acceptance testing, routine quality control and advanced studies of spatial resolution, uniformity, artefacts, center-of-rotation and the effects of reconstruction parameters and attenuation/scatter corrections.
