Micro-CT Bar Pattern Phantoms
For the determination of in-plane and axial spatial resolution
OVERVIEW
- Evaluate 3D, in-plane and axial high spatial resolution in preclinical and industrial Micro-CT
- Bar and point structures down to 5 µm (air, resin) or to 1 µm (NANO)
- Corresponds to 3.3 to 100 LP
- Provides high-resolution contrast
- Customizable
The Micro-CT Bar Pattern Phantom is used for a directly visible measurement of spatial resolution in Micro-CT. The chip offers an alternative for indirect methods to evaluate spatial resolution in high-resolution X-ray imaging modalities. The phantom consists of two chips, one orientated in-plane and one in perpendicular (axial) orientation. The chips are placed on a slim support in air or in a full resin cylinder.
The 5 x 5 mm² chip contains bar and point patterns with diameters from 5 to 150 µm line/point thickness. The depth of the structures varies between 80 to 120 µm. The different structures on the chip are arranged functional, allowing to evaluate the spatial resolution in the center as well as in the periphery of the image with one single measurement. The cylinder, which contains two chips, is available in a 20 mm diameter phantom (in air) or in a 8 mm diameter phantom (in resin). Other diameters upon request.
The Bar Pattern NANO provides two silicon chips, aligned perpendicularly and placed on a solid plastic support. Both 3 x 3 mm² chips have several line and point patterns representing lines and points of 1 to 10 µm width. In addition, a slented edge and a so-called Siemens-star (actinomorphic star) are placed on the chip.
