Pro-CT MINI - Pro-Project - 04-403

The Pro-CT MINI phantom is a compact CT image quality testing solution. When connected with Pro-CT Dose it may be used for carrying out acceptance and constancy tests of computed tomography systems according to IEC 61223-3-5 and the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine) guidelines. This phantom consists of a module 16cm in diameter with positioning aids and recesses for test modules.

Pro-CT Dose performs the following tests:

Geometric distortion
CT number (HU) measurement
Noise / Uniformity
Artefacts
MTF
Spatial resolution
Contrast resolution
Low contrast resolution
Slice profile
Alignment
Linearity
Beamwidth

Technical data (can be modified to customer specifications):

Main Module:
- Diameter 160mm
- Thickness 30mm
- 9 recesses for test inserts allow the customized placement of test objects in space
- Markings for easy and accurate positioning in the CT scanner
- Set of holes on a given depth for testing geometry, distortions and slice position
- Screws and extra plugs for mounting the module on any Pro-CT Dose Phantom, (04-319)
Standard Test Inserts:
- 5 contrast resolution inserts containing rods made from different materials: LDPE, PTFE, POM-C, air, plastic water equivalent. Diameters of rods in each insert are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm
- High contrast resolution inserts containing 11 aluminium test elements for spatial resolution evaluation from 1 to 11 LP/cm
- 2 geometry modules containing two pairs of aluminium wire ramps whose slope angle tangent is equal to 0.5
- Linear Spread Function (LSF) insert - PTFE / PMMA interface
- Point Spread Function (PSF) insert - 0.25 mm tungsten steel wire in air
Optional Inserts (04-404):
- 3 low contrast inserts containing rods with a diameter: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm. The contrast difference between the rods and the surrounding material are 0.3, 0.6 and 1%
- 3 high contrast resolution inserts containing 19 aluminium test elements for spatial resolution evaluation from 12 to 30 LP/cm
