Cone-Beam Phantom

For testing the imaging performance in diagnostic CT and Cone-Beam CT

  • Multipurpose phantom for comparison of different CT and CBCT scanner solutions
  • Assess all relevant image quality metrics
  • Provides different low contrast sections and spatial resolution bar patterns
  • Allows MTF measurements in different orientations

 

The phantom is essential to fully quantify the imaging performance of all kind of volumetric X-ray scanners and to compare different systems or technical solutions.

The dedicated low contrast sections provide an ideal environment to test the system's low contrast resolution. Using the spatial resolution bar patterns, you can assess the in-plane resolution of the system in a direct visual manner. Additional edge inserts determine the system's MTF in different orientations. The image contrast and HU-scale section quantifies the machine's HU-scale and the bone contrast achieved with different settings. Additionally, the geometric accuracy, the CNR and the image noise of the scanner can be evaluated.
