Micro-CT-ContrastScale

A phantom for evaluating high contrast materials in Micro-CT - bone and iodine - materials of highest interest in small-animal research.

The contrast scale factor allows evaluating the contrast, measured in Hounsfield Units, obtained for a given concentration of a substance, specified in mg/cm . The QRMMicroCT- ContrastScale phantom provides HA (calcium hydroxyapatite) and iodide samples, i.e. the substances of highest interest in small-animal research.

Standard phantoms are scaled down from the diameter of an average human trunk (32 cm) to that of a fat mouse or lean rat (32 mm). Other dimensions as well as inserts with substances other than specified here can be produced upon request.
