QC Phantom
It’s the only brachytherapy/ Model 84-345
ultrasound phantom that
performs: Introduction
• Quality control on ultrasound The Brachytherapy/Ultrasound
sidefire transrectal probes and QC Phantom is designed for
calibration of prostate transrectal ultrasound QC and
calibration of brachytherapy
brachytherapy systems systems. It contains targets to
• External grid assessment assess volume measurements,
internal and external grid
• Internal grid assessment accuracy, and probe retraction
• Probe retraction step assessment accuracy. When scanning toward
the top of the phantom, a partial
• Volume verification grid of wires appears. These wires
should line up with the grid that
appears on your screen, thus
ensuring correct vertical and
horizontal distance
measurements.
A needle may be inserted through
the external grid and into the phantom, guaranteeing proper correlation between external
and internal grids. Five cross-wires are embedded within the phantom to help determine
if the probe is being retracted the specified distance.
Applications
To use the phantom, simply turn the probe 60° to the right or left to visualize and
measure the volume of three different calibrated spherical-shaped objects.
The phantom is constructed from a proprietary urethane. At normal room temperature, the
urethane material will accurately simulate the ultrasound characteristics found in human
liver tissue.
