AAPM Guideline Compliant CT Performance Phantom

• Phantom design based around guidelines presented in Report #1 of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Force on CT Scanner Phantoms
• Includes six insertable test objects
• Capable of measuring ten distinct performance parameters including noise, size independence, sensitivity or detectability, radiation dose, mechanical alignment, spatial uniformity, beam hardening, HU linearity, slice thickness, spacial resolution, and line spread function

The goals of of AAPM's Report #1 were to define performance of a CT scanner and describe methods of performance testing through utilization of particular phantoms. The AAPM CT Performance Phantom was specifically designed around these goals for a practical method of evaluating CT scanner performance. The phantom is capable of measuring all performance parameters outlined by the AAPM.
