Elliptical Jaszczak

Main Features

Elliptical Jaszczak phantom with elliptical body shape.

Main Applications

For use with high spatial resolution SPECT and PET systems.

Evaluation of data acquisition using non-circular orbit.

System performance evaluation over larger field-of-view (collimator, artifacts, calibration reconstruction parameters).

Study of the effects of regional variation in intrinsic system response using uniform portion of the elliptical cylinder.

Evaluation of the accuracy of body contour and attenuation compensation algorithms.

Study of spatial resolution variation within the field-of-view using portion of insert containing variable sized rods.

Evaluation of lesion detectability using portion of inserts containing multi-sized spheres.

Study of the effects of finite spatial resolution & Compton scatter on image quality.

Acceptance testing.

Routine quality, assurance and control.
