Medical Imaging Phantoms – Overview

Medical imaging phantoms are specially designed objects that simulate human tissues, organs, or anatomical structures. They are used to test, calibrate, train, and evaluate medical imaging systems without exposing patients to unnecessary radiation or procedures. They ensure that imaging devices produce accurate, consistent, and high-quality images.

What Medical Imaging Phantoms Are Used For

• Quality Assurance (QA)

Phantoms help verify that imaging equipment is functioning correctly by checking:

• Resolution

• Contrast

• Noise

• Uniformity

• Geometric accuracy
