Electron Density Phantom

For the calibration of Hounsfield Unit (HU) vs. electron density of CT radiotherapy treatment plans

OVERVIEW

D100 compatible
Calibration of radiation oncology treatment plans
For the opimization of the delivered dose to the patient
Provides realistic tissue simulation and values within the higher density range (bones)
Tissue-equivalent inserts are available separately

The Electron Density Phantom houses 5 different tissue-equivalent material inserts used for the HU to electron density calibration of CT scanners and radiation therapy treatment planning systems.

All tissue-equivalent materials represent the real human tissue with respect to physical density and electron density.

A new revised edition of the EDP provides tissue-equivalent realistic physical densities and electron densities of human tissues of highest interest in radiation oncology treatment planning.

The non-accordance of these values is a major shortcoming of other available electron density (or tissue-equivalent) phantoms.

The Electron Density Phantom is the first phantom to provide realistic tissue simulation and values in the higher density range (bone).
