This Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) Phantom follows the recommendation in Report No. 15 by the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine) - Digital Radiology/Fluorography Task Group of the Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging Committee. Phantom is designer to evaluate digital functions of DSA systems and can be used to check: contrast range, resolution, linearity, uniformity, amplifier dynamic range, registration accuracy and subtraction effectiveness. Its modular construction allows to setup up the desired test configuration in a very easy and accurate manner.

Technical data (can be modified to customer specifications):

  • Section I and II: Step Wedge module, 6 step wedges (each 25.4mm high) to test dynamic range. Can be folded into 203.2 x 203.2 x 76.5mm solid block.
  • Section III: Slot block with a place to fit other test modules. 
    Outer size: 203.2 x 203.2 x 76.5mm.
    Slot size: 203.2 x 152.4 x 25.4mm.
  • Registration Plate, made of aluminium with array of 3.18mm holes. 
    Size: 203.2 x 203.2 x 1.5mm
  • Bone Section with three PTFE strips 25mm width and 5, 10 and 15mm in thickness.
    Size: 203.2 x 203.2 x 25.4mm
  • High Contrast Resolution Section containing pattern for line pair resolution evaluation (from 0.6 to 5.0 LP/mm). Thanks to dedicated recesses test pattern can be placed in different orientations.
    Size: 203.2 x 203.2 x 25.4mm
  • Blank Insert that used with other modules forms mask plate.
    Size: 203.2 x 152.4 x 25.4mm

    Size: 203.2 x 152.4 x 25.4mm
  • Low Contrast Artery Insert containing 3 sets of analogue blood vessels (diameters 0.5, 1.0, 2,0 and 4.0mm), each vessels group includes different iodine concentrations: 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/cc.
    Size: 203.2 x 152.4 x 25.4mm
  • 150mg/ml Iodine Artery Insert, 3 sets of analogue blood arteries (thickness 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 mm) each includes arteriarctial and arterial aneurysm which sizes are 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of artery diameter.
    Size: 203.2 x 152.4 x 25.4mm
  • 300mg/ml Iodine Artery Insert, 3 sets of analogue blood arteries (thickness 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 mm) each includes arteriarctia and arterial aneurysm which sizes are 1/4, 1/2 and ¾ of artery diameter.
