ICRU Tissues

• Different densities or CT values (HU), available in different shapes and designs

Tissue-equivalent materials are available in various shapes and designs, providing the physical X-ray attenuation properties of the soft tissue of human organs, such as liver, spleen, vessels, brain, breast, muscle, fat, and others.

Tissue-equivalent material is the basis of standard anthropomorphic phantoms. It provides CT values of approximately 38 HU at 120 kV tube voltage.

Examples of avaiable ICRU Tissues:

• tissue-equivalent organs
• low-contrast structures
• lung nodules (hypodense, hyperdense)
• liver nodules (hypodense, hyperdense)
• fat extension rings to simulate obese patients
• cerebral phantoms with white and grey matter
• breast equivalent phantoms
• blood-mimicking resin
