- This is a multipurpose phantom which is applicable for both plain radiography and CT scanning.
- The inner components consisting of mediastinum, pulmonary vasculature and an abdomen block are easily detachable, allowing insertion of mimic tumors or other lesions.
- The unique radiological substitute material and the elaborate three-dimensional modeling of pulmonary vessels offer the most life-like X-ray and CT images.
- A combination of various approaches will enrich the training opportunities.
Multipurpose
- Applicable for both plain radiography and CT scanning.
- Wide variety of uses in interpretation training, anatomical education, evaluation and assessment of devices and other research.
Accurate anatomy and high quality substitute materials
- The phantom is an accurate life-size anatomical model of a human torso.
- The thickness of the chest wall is based on measurement of clinical data.
- The soft tissue substitute material and synthetic bones have x-ray absorption rates very close to those of human tissues.
X-ray
- The phantom provides life-like radiographs very close to actual clinical images. The three-dimensional structure allows both PA and LATERAL images to be obtained.
- The phantom bones and vessels show life-like contrast gradations on the image along with tube voltages.
Computed tomography
- Arms-abducted position of the torso suits the CT scanning. The pulmonary vessels are spatially traceable. Assessment of computer-aided detection systems is possible.
Set includes:
1 male chest torso
Main body: synthetic bones are embedded

Pulmonary vessels (right and left)
Abdomen (diaphragm) block: no internal structure
15 simulated tumors
3 varieties of Hounsfield number: approx -800, -630,+100
5 sizes for each type: diameters 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 mm
Materials:
- Soft tissue: polyurethane (gravity 1.06)
- Synthetic bones: epoxy resin
Phantom size:
43 x 40 x 48H cm, chest girth 94 cm
Phantom weight:
approx.18 kg
Optional Parts:
Chest Plate
Optional chest plates to simulate a larger body type and X-ray absorption.
Differences in X-ray absorption depending on body volume can be observed.
Using 60mm thick plates, 30mm is added to the front and to the back of the chest.
