MR PLANNING
In response to the increased use of MR for radiation therapy planning and treatment, we have focused development on phantoms to meet both critical image quality metrics and ease of use for clinical workflow.
The phantoms are available in head and two body sizes. The major advantage of these phantoms is that they combine high-precision, three-dimensional nonlinear distortion measurements while at the same time providing a thorough check on the MR system – all from a single scan. The unique Magphan® design, paired with Smári Image Analysis, allows for quality control of clinical sequences rather than a prescribed set of test scans.
The Magphan® S162 system phantom is designed for multi-channel head coils and to meet the specific QA needs for MRI scanners used in quantitative imaging, particularly in applications where geometric distortion can have critical impacts.
The modular Magphan® RT meets the specific QA needs for radiotherapy planning and guidance, where measurement of large fields of view are required for torso sizes encountered in clinical practice.
CT PLANNING
Catphan® phantoms, paired with Smári Image Analysis, is ideal for advanced imaging performance quality control tests required for diagnostic and radiation therapy clinics. The numerous phantom models are intended to provide quantitative tests to measure the maximum performance of modern multi-slice scanners and on-board CBCT systems.
Test objects include:
CT number accuracy, with a range of sensitometry targets including lung foam and simulated bone density materials
Signal uniformity and noise
High-contrast resolution with both line pair gauges and point sources for quantitative MTF measurements
Low contrast resolution, along with slice thickness and pixel spacing test objects.
Catphan® 700 phantom is available with an accessory set for advanced evaluation of CT scanners. The set includes inserts for testing image protocols with metal artifact compensating algorithms and a range of body annuli to simulate additional attenuation found in the patient population; and more.
The Catphan® 606 is designed to evaluate image performance of both mV and kV CT scanners. This phantom combines numerous kV test objects used in other Catphan® models, along with large diameter slice geometry wires and a high signal MTF point source designed to compensate for the reduced contrast in mV images.
QA DATA MANAGEMENT
Manage your radiation therapy clinic machine QA with Total QA™. Total QA™ integrates quality assurance management, measurement, and analysis for healthcare into coherent, customizable and cost-effective solutions.
The Smári Image Analysis service delivers automated phantom image analysis in the cloud. Results can be viewed online or exported. Smári maintains measurements for trend analysis, machine comparisons, and historical records.
Every radiation therapy center has a unique combination of QA devices and protocols. Total QA® allows you the freedom to setup a machine QA system to match those needs.
The Smári Image Analysis service is the product of The Phantom Laboratory’s 14 years of experience delivering automated phantom image analysis in the cloud.
