ART phantoms are molded of tissue-equivalent material; they are designed within highly sophisticated technological constraints and follow ICRU-44 standards. They are also designed for accuracy and ease of use.

Features and Benefits

• Anatomy
  • The Female ART represents a 155 cm (5 ft. 1 in.) tall, 50 kg (110 lb.) female.
  • The ART phantom is transected-horizontally into 2.5 cm thick slices.
  • Each slice has holes which are plugged with bone-equivalent, soft-tissue-equivalent or lung tissue equivalent pins which can be replaced by TLD holder pins.
  • Soft-tissue-equivalent coatings produce slices with glass smooth interfaces.
  • These coatings are cut away over the air spaces of the oronasal pharynges, trachea and stem bronchi.
• Materials
  • Soft Tissues
    • There are unlimited, small variations in density and absorption throughout the human body.
    • Phantom soft tissue is closely controlled to have the average density of these tissues.
• Assembly
  • ART phantom slices are held between aluminum plates by nylon tie rods.
  • Knobs at the end of the rods clamp the slices tightly in proper alignment.
  • The external assembly facilitates film dosimetry, while the internal assembly is used generally with TLDs or ionchamber dosimetry.
