They test reconstruction techniques, non-uniform attenuation
and scatter correction methods using different radionuclides
under realistic conditions
The Heart/Thorax Phantom is ideal for evaluation of
detectability, extent and severity of myocardial infarcts in
patients. This Phantom also provides valid assessment of
mammoscintigraphy techniques. The Striatal Phantom optimizes
quantitative imaging in patients, using PET or SPECT.
