Modified PET / SPECT cylindrical phantom

It is mandatory to assess / evaluate performance parameters of all medical imaging systems employed in diagnostic imaging modalities before their use in patient studies. For such evaluations a number of commercially available test phantoms exist, e.g., in nuclear medicine tomography - PET/SPECT phan...
