Calcium Scoring Phantom, D100

For the quantification and evaluation of the detectability of coronary calcifications

Calibration standard for cardiac CT
Investigate the detectability of coronary calcifications
Achieve reproducible scoring results
Include CaHA targets in different sizes and density

The Calcium Scoring Phantom, D100 (QRM-10146) contains nine cylindrical calcifications inserts in varying size and CaHA density (see Specifications). Furthermore, there are two larger calibration inserts (water-equivalent and CaHA material). All inserts are embedded in a soft tissue-equivalent material (approx. 30 HU at 120 kV).

In order to obtain absolute values for the calcium mass, a calibration measurement with the central calibration insert of known CaHA density of 200 mg CaHA/cm³ can be performed. The water-equivalent insert represents an additional calibration standard.

The phantom is ideally suited to use in combination with the Thorax Phantom as a set (QRM-20103).
