Cardiac Insert™ with Fillable
Defects Set™ for
Lung-Spine Phantom

The Lung-Spine Phantom consists of two chambers that are shaped to simulate the lungs. The chamber can be filled with Styrofoam^® beads and water that mimics the lung tissue. When filled with Styrofoam^® beads and a radioactive solution, the lung chambers simulate lung tissue with density of ~ 0.3 gm/cm³ and with any desirable radioactivity concentration. Use for evaluation of cardiac and lung ECT data acquisition and reconstruction methods, and evaluation of non-uniform attenuation and scatter compensation methods.

Includes spine and fillable lung inserts
Lung inserts can be filled with Styrofoam^® beads and water to simulate lung tissue density
Optional Cardiac Insert! (Model ECT/CAR/I) may be purchased separately
Simulates anatomical structures and radioactivity distributions in upper torso of human
Optional body contour rings may be purchased separately. When used with the body contour rings, the upper torso of a small (~ 30 x 22 cm) patient is simulated

The Lung-Spine Phantom can be used with the optional Cardiac Insert (as shown) to realistically simulate the attenuation coefficients of any radioactivity uptake in various tissue in the human upper torso. Cardiac Insert is available separately.
