Rod and pin sources are typically used as calibration
sources for scanner set-up and periodic scanner calibration or normalization*.
They are also used as transmission sources for patient attenuation
correction. Custom activities and geometries are available for special
orders.
Cylinder phantom sources are typically used
as calibration sources for scanner set-up and periodic scanner calibration
in 2D and 3D modes. The radioactive element is uniformly distributed
in a cylindrical mold 20 cm in diameter by 19 cm long. Custom activities
and geometries are available for special orders.
Point sources are used as calibration sources
for scanner set-up and periodic scanner calibration. They are also
used as spot markers to identify anatomical points of interest and
as transmission sources for attenuation correction measurements.
The radioactive element is typically 1 to 2 mm in diameter and is
located inside one end of a stainless steel tube. Custom activities
and geometries are available for special orders.
Phantom Shields are designed to store any standard
20cm PET cylinder phantoms regardless of manufacturer. Steel-jacketed
lead is used on the top cover and the sides to attenuate the 511
keV gamma radiation. Sanders Medical Phantom Shields are supplied
with four caster wheels and a detachable pull handle for easy movement.
Total weight = 144 kg/316 lbs.
Sanders Medical produced many of the sources in use in the world today. Most were developed in cooperation with leading scanner manufacturers. Please contact us if you have any custom needs or design requirements beyond our standard products.
*Consult your scanner supplier for source applications.
