CTwater®

Water-equivalent material for CT imaging purposes

OVERVIEW

Water-equivalent resin for clinical X-ray modalities
Great long-term stability
Specified properties certified with state-of-the-art CT scanners
Can be molded into arbitrary shapes

CTwater is a proprietary resin, which has the same X-ray attenuation characteristics as liquid water in the range of 70 to 150 kV. It is an extremely stable, homogenous and uniform solid material.

CTwater is the basis of the European Spine Phantom (ESP) or the Dual Energy Phantom. Apart from this, CTwater is an established and widely used material for CT calibration purposes.
