Comprehensive verification of the complete treatment planning sequence
The RANDO Phantoms provide the detailed mapping of dose distribution that is essential for evaluating radiotherapy
treatment plans. There are two RANDO models, RANDO Man and RANDO Woman. Breast accessories are available for both
models. Like the Sectional Phantoms, the RANDO Phantoms are constructed with a natural human skeleton cast inside
material that is radiologically equivalent to soft tissue. The RANDO lungs are molded to fit the contours of the
natural human rib cage. The lower-density material in the RANDO lungs is designed to simulate human lungs in a median
respiratory state.
Designed for maximum flexibility, and maximum applications.
Dose measurements are obtained by using film or individual dosimeters. To facilitate dose mapping, RANDO Phantoms are
sliced into 2.5cm sections. Optional hole grids are drilled through the phantom's soft tissue material provided that the
holes do not pass through bone. These grids allow a variety of dosimeters to be used. The RANDO Phantoms are equipped
with standard, close-fitting Mix D plugs inserted in the holes. However, The Phantom Laboratory can also provide
optional Mix D plugs made to hold TLD chips, as well as, special Thermoluminescent Capsules for Lithium Fluoride
Powders.
