Construction of a phantom to test the performance of emission computed tomography systems

It is imperative to assess/evaluate the performance of emission computed tomography (ECT) system prior to the use in clinical studies. For this purpose, a variety of test phantoms is commercially available with exactly known composition. The phantom data are used to examine and acquire prior knowled...
