Imaging phantom, or simply phantom, is a specially designed object that is scanned or imaged in the field of medical imaging to evaluate, analyze, and tune the performance of various imaging devices. A phantom is more readily available and provides more consistent results than the use of a living subject or cadaver, and likewise avoids subjecting a living subject to direct risk. Phantoms were originally employed for use in 2D x-ray based imaging techniques such as radiography or fluoroscopy, though more recently phantoms with desired imaging characteristics have been developed for 3D techniques such as SPECT, MRI, CT, Ultrasound, PET, and other imaging methods or modalities.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Imaging phantom, or simply phantom, is a specially designed object that is scanned or imaged in the field of medical imaging to evaluate, analyze, and tune the performance of various imaging devices. A phantom is more readily available and provides more consistent results than the use of a living subject or cadaver, and likewise avoids subjecting a living subject to direct risk. Phantoms were originally employed for use in 2D x-ray based imaging techniques such as radiography or fluoroscopy, though more recently phantoms with desired imaging characteristics have been developed for 3D techniques such as SPECT, MRI, CT, Ultrasound, PET, and other imaging methods or modalities.

  • Un fantoccio è un oggetto progettato per essere scansionato tramite uno scanner per imaging medico, ad esempio uno scanner CT o MRI, allo scopo di testare o calibrare l'apparecchio. Rispetto ad un soggetto vivente o un cadavere, un fantoccio ha il vantaggio di essere più semplice da reperire, sacrificabile in caso di situazioni di rischio, e di fornire risultati più coerenti. I fantocci vennero inizialmente introdotti nell'imaging bidimensionale come radiografia e fluoroscopia, e in seguito l'uso venne esteso all'imaging tridimensionale, come imaging a risonanza magnetica, tomografia computerizzata, tomografia a emissione di positroni e ecografia.
