The Head/Neck CTA AVM / Lesion Phantom – model 51-05 represents a realistic human head in the arterial phase of CT angiography, featuring an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the right hemisphere and ten low-contrast lesions in the centrum semiovale.
Extending from the cranial vertex to the fifth cervical vertebra, it reproduces accurate vascular, bone and soft-tissue anatomy, supporting CT and CBCT performance testing.
This phantom enables comprehensive image quality assessment, contrast and resolution analysis, and training for scanning protocols.
Applications:
- Quality assurance and constancy testing for head/neck CT, CTA and CBCT
- Training in vascular segmentation and low-contrast lesion detection
- Protocol validation and image quality optimization
