RANDO® Phantoms

Designed for maximum flexibility, and maximum applications.

Like the Sectional Phantoms, the RANDO® Phantoms are constructed with a natural human skeleton cast inside material that is radiologically equivalent to soft tissue.

There are two RANDO® models, RANDO® Man and RANDO® Woman. The RANDO® lungs are molded to fit the contours of the natural human rib cage. The lower-density material in the RANDO® lungs is designed to simulate human lungs in a median respiratory state. Breast accessories are available for both models.

Dose measurements are obtained by using film or individual dosimeters. To facilitate dose mapping, RANDO® Phantoms are sliced into 2.5cm sections. Optional hole grids are drilled through the phantom's soft tissue material provided that the holes do not pass through bone. These grids allow a variety of dosimeters to be used. The RANDO® Phantoms are equipped with standard, close-fitting Mix D plugs inserted in the holes. However, The Phantom Laboratory can also provide optional Mix D plugs made to hold TLD chips, as well as special Thermoluminescent Capsules for Lithium Fluoride Powders.

Material Details

Soft Tissue - The RANDO® Phantom's soft tissue is manufactured from a proprietary urethane formulation with an effective atomic number and mass density that closely simulates muscle tissue with randomly distributed fat. The material is virtually indestructible, capable of withstanding substantial impact and continuous handling without damage.

Lungs - The RANDO® Phantom's lung material closely mimics the density of lungs in a median respiratory state. The molded lungs are handshaped and fitted to naturally fill the rib cage.

Skeletons - All of our anthropomorphic phantoms use natural human skeletons, skillfully reconstructed and adjusted to overcome any natural lack of symmetry, distorted joints, etc., and fit within the mold.

Breasts & Breast Cups - (optional) Breasts in sizes A through E are available for both female and male RANDO® phantoms. Each breast is molded into 2cm thick sections and drilled on a 2cm grid to accept Mix D plugs.

Available Models

The RANDO® Phantoms are available in two models. Neither have arms or legs.

RANDO® Woman — The woman represents a 163cm (5’4”) tall and 54kg (118 lb) female figure.

RANDO® Man — The man represents a 175cm (5’9”) tall and 73.5kg (162 lb) male figure.
