Description
QA block phantom is for these daily tests, used before scanning any patients, to ensure the system is in optimal calibration.
This phantom measures aspects of image quality: contrast scale, high contrast spatial resolution, low contrast detectability, noise and uniformity.
The QA phantom contains three sections, each corresponding to a single scan plane: Section 1: Resolution block S0mm scan location, Section 2: Contrast membrane S40mm scan location, and Section 3: Water bath S60mm scan location.
