Electron Density Phantom

Electron Density Phantom

The Electron Density Phantom (Model 76-462) is used in CT (computed tomography) treatment planning. The accuracy of radiation oncology treatment planning systems is heavily dependent upon precise CT analysis of the patient anatomy which is to be irradiated. Physicists performing treatment planning need accurate tools to evaluate CT scan data, correct for inhomogeneities and to document the relationship between CT number and tissue electron density. The Electron Density Phantom is designed to meet this requirement.
