PET IQ
The Leeds Test Objects' PET IQ Phantom is a calibration and quality control tool designed to simulate the trunk of the human body for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. The phantom features a vessel made of PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), an acrylic material. The term "anthropomorphic" indicates that the phantom is designed to replicate the anatomical characteristics of the human body, providing a realistic representation for testing and optimizing PET imaging systems. This type of phantom is crucial for ensuring that PET scanners produce accurate and reliable images by mimicking real-world imaging conditions.
