WEK-062M Electronic Density Phantom Details:
The WEK-062M electronic density phantom is designed to account for tissue heterogeneity in radiation therapy planning. It can be used to establish precise correlations between CT data and the electronic densities of various tissues. The phantom consists of two nested discs representing the head and abdomen, respectively. Nine different tissue-equivalent electronic density plugs can be placed at 17 distinct positions within the scanning area. The phantom also includes a water bottle stopper that can be filled with any liquid.
Electronic density head insert:
Diameter 180 mm x 50 mm
Abdominal phantom dimensions: 330 mm x 270 mm x 50 mm
