Head QC1 Phantom for X-Ray CT, Ultrasound and MRI
HD-QC1 is an anthropomorphic adult human head phantom that can be used for applications related to Image guided
radiotherapy (IGRT), Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and potential quality assurance (QA) applications. It serves
as an ideal tool to study target localization and dose delivery under the image guidance of X-Ray/CT, US, MRI and
PET.
HD-QC1 serves as an ideal tool to study target localization and dose delivery under the image guidance of X-Ray/CT,
US, MRI,
and PET. The anthropomorphic features include a lifelike skull with cortical and trabecular bone structures,
simulated brain(white and gray matter), cervical vertebrae, sinus cavities, larynx, trachea, and oral cavities.
In addition to this, it can be customized with tissue-equivalent inserts for QA applications.

All standard phantoms are coated with a protective layer of the harder urethane rubber to offer enhanced appearance and safeguard the phantom from any scratches when handled without care. This coated layer also provides a glossy finish and slightly changes the hardness of the phantom. The Hardness [Shore 00] for the ‘Body Tissue’ mentioned above is measured without the coat layer. The coat will increase the hardness by approximately 30 points meaning that if the body tissue hardness is OO 60, the coated body tissue will be OO 90.
