       General R/F QC Phantom.       


Introduction

The R/F QC Phantom is designed to provide the diagnostic radiologic technologist with an accurate, easy-to-use tool for evaluating the image quality and performance of standard diagnostic radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging systems.

Applications

For fine-tuning of radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging systems, it is recommended that the phantom be imaged at least monthly on all radiographic and fluoroscopic equipment. To attain the most accurate, up-to-date quality control information, a daily or weekly frequency is preferable. When used daily, the R/F QC Phantom will allow the technologist to quickly determine whether the equipment is functioning correctly. This easy-to-use phantom allows the user to complete the suggested protocol in approximately 5 minutes or less, when used on a standard R/F system. Once the phantom is imaged, simply graph the results to determine any trends that may indicate a degradation of imaging system performance, such as a steady but slow change in the fluoro kVp or in the radiographic mAs.

  • Designed specifically with the radiologic technologist in mind
  • Provides an accurate overall evaluation of image quality consistency
  • For QC of phototimer and automatic brightness control consistency
  • Ideal for use in determining subtle degradation in imaging performance
  • Average test time is less than 5 minutes per unit
  • For use with radiography, fluoroscopy, and spot films, too


  • Verifies fluoroscopic monitor contrast and brightness adjustment

  • Key Features

  • At the center of the phantom are pie shaped wedges of varying mesh sizes: 20#, 30#, 40#, 60#, 80#, and 100# L/in, for evaluating high-contrast performance
  • Surrounding the mesh are four low contrast "masses" of different diameters: 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm
  • At one edge of the phantom is a small "density difference" patch, for a measure of contrast on the films
  • At the opposite edge of the phantom are two monitor adjustment squares, each having a low contrast square insert
  • The phantom contains a 2 mm copper attenuator, which allows it to simulate the attenuation of an average adult
  • At the corners of the test tool are lines for aligning the light field
  • QC charts are provided for plotting both the radiographic and fluoroscopic results
  • Along the sides of the test tool are beads 1 cm inside and outside of the lines started in the corners

           Fluoroscopic Resolution Test Tool.       
    The Fluoroscopic Resolution Test Tool is an acrylic plate containing eight groups of copper and brass mesh screening. Three models are offered, each with different resolution values. These mesh groups are purposely arranged in a non-sequential rotational pattern to permit better visualization of the sometimes subtle changes in mesh thickness. These test tools provide a quick general check on image intensifiers and can also be used to optimize television system focus as well as mirror optics and image intensifier settings.

  • 7 ½" Square Plastic Plate.

  •        Fluoroscopic Resolution Test Tool.       
    Ludlum Measurements, Inc! The Fluoroscopic Resolution Test Tool is a plastic plate containing eight groups of copper and brass mesh screening. Three models are offered, each with a different resolution. They are arranged in an irregular and non-sequential rotation to permit better visualization of the different resolution patterns. These test tools provide a quick method to check an Image Intensifier or video system resolution. The tool provides a quick, easy-to-use method for testing radiographic and fluoroscopic equipment. Clearly marked sections of the tool identify the number of lines of wire mesh per inch in that segment. Four low-contrast "targets" of 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm, a "contrast" square, two monitor adjustment squares, and a copper attenuator to simulate the attenuation of a small adult are also present.
