Radiation therapy test phantom 002LFC

lungthorax

The CIRS Model 002LFC IMRT Thorax Phantom for film and ion chamber dosimetry is designed to address the complex issues surrounding commissioning and comparison of treatment planning systems and complete system QA from CT imaging to dose verification. Once the only way to do IMRT/VMAT QA, phantoms like the 002LFC are used today for more intensive investigations especially during commissioning, research and end-to-end testing. Tissue Equivalent Technology The 002LFC is elliptical in shape and properly represents an average human torso in proportion, density and two-dimensional structure. It measures 30 cm long x 30 cm wide x 20 cm thick. The phantom is constructed of proprietary tissue equivalent epoxy materials. Linear attenuations of the simulated tissues are within 1% of actual attenuation for water and bone, and within 3% for lung from 50 keV to 15 MeV. Tissue equivalent interchangeable rod inserts accommodate ionization chambers allowing for point dose measurements in multiple planes within the phantom. Hole placement allows verification in the most critical areas of the chest. One half of the phantom is divided into 12 sections, each 1 cm thick, to support radiographic or GafChromic® film. Additional inserts are available to support a variety of other detectors including TLD’s, MOSFET, and diodes.
