Image Analysis: Improving the future of CT Calibrations for Bone Densitometry and Calcium Scoring.
- Gone is "on-and-off" the CT table placement and storage of older large, bulky calibration phantoms.
- Gone is patient discomfort from the large and hard edges of older phantoms.
- Gone is the hassle of positioning, aligning and repositioning of phantoms.
- Gone is the misalignment of the phantom when a patient shifts or moves.
- Gone are artifacts and measurement errors from scatter, beam hardening and attenuation that can occur with the older, larger phantoms.
- Gone are bolus bags and QA phantoms and scanner standardizations and cross calibrations with CT upgrades.
INTableTM Calibration Phantom Couch Pad Specifications:
DIMENSIONS: The Calibration pad is 51 in. (129 cm) long, and 16 in. (41 cm) wide. The contoured pad will fit all modern CT tables. Each sample rod is 0.625 in. (1.6 cm) diameter and 50 in. (127 cm) long. An extension pad is provided to cover the full scanner table.
CT-WaterTM: The base material is composed of our proprietary CT water equivalent solid compound. Water equivalence is at the level required for CT such that the HU number is very close to true distilled water.
CALIBRATION SAMPLES: Four sample concentrations of 0 mg/cc, 75 mg/cc, 150 mg/cc of calcium hydroxyapatite homogeneously (CaHA) blended into the CT-WaterTM compound. The fourth sample is fat equivalent. (Iodine samples will be an option in the future).
