Hoffman 3D brain simulation phantom for evaluating acquisition and reconstruction methods in brain imaging.

Primary features

• Anatomically accurate simulation of radioactivity distribution for brain SPECT and brain PET studies and distribution of proton density and relaxation parameters for brain MRI studies.
• Simulates 4:1 uptake ratio (by partial volume effect) seen for normal gray and white matter in flow and metabolic studies.
• Single fillable chamber eliminates the need to prepare different concentrations of radioactivity.

Specifications

• Cylinder inside diameter: 20.8 cm
• Cylinder inside height: 17.5 cm
• Fillable volume: ~ 1.2 liter
