Pro-RT ED Electron Density Phantom Account for tissue heterogeneity

The Pro-RT ED phantom is used to account for tissue heterogeneity in radiotherapy treatment planning.

Pro-RT ED Electron Density Phantom part of complete solution for: CyberKnife

Pro-RT ED Electron Density Phantom Overview

The Pro-RT ED phantom is used to account for tissue heterogeneity in radiotherapy treatment planning. It can be used to define the precise correlation of CT data to the electron density of various tissues. The phantom consists of two nested disks that represent the head and abdomen. Nine different tissue equivalent electron density plugs can be positioned at 17 different locations within the scan field. Included is a water vial plug that can be filled with any fluid. Optional distance marker plugs enable quick assessment of the CT scanner’s distance measurement accuracy.

Perform Tests:

  • CT value measurement (HU)
  • Evaluate CT scan data
  • Correct for inhomogeneities
  • Document relationship between CT number and tissue electron density
  • Simulate indicated tissue within the diagnostic energy range
  • Quick assessment of distance registration

Dimensions

  • Electron Density Head Insert
    180 mm diameter x 50 mm
  • Electron Density Body without Head Insert
    330 mm x 270 mm x 50 mm
