Introducing The Gammex 610 Neonatal Chest Phantom
03/02/2010
Gammex’s new 610 Neonatal Chest Phantom is the first of a new class of phantoms and objective system performance tools for use in digital radiographic systems.
Because the phantom replicates both the anatomic structure and the tissue attenuation characteristics of a real neonate, the phantom can be imaged using clinical protocols resulting in a test of the entire imaging chain, including image processing parameters.
The Gammex 610 Neonatal Chest Phantom is designed to simulate the disease states of pneumothorax and hyaline membrane while permitting system resolution and noise testing. When used in conjunction with the System Performance Test Tool, this easy to use, compact system addresses important Quality Control needs in computed and digital radiography.
Gammex Inc. located in Middleton, WI is a leader in the manufacture and distribution of Gammex Lasers and quality control devices for medical imaging and radiation therapy for over 40 years.
