Why Choose the Lung Cancer Screening CT Phantom LSCT001 for Low-Dose CT Standardization in India?
The Lung Cancer Screening CT Phantom LSCT001 (Item No. PH-8, Brand: Kyoto Kagaku, Japan) is an anthropomorphic chest phantom built for standardization studies in low-dose lung cancer CT screening. Its life-like structure provides realistic images that allow operators to visually evaluate scan quality directly.
Simulated GGO (ground-glass opacity) type tumors of varying sizes and HU numbers are positioned near three main sections of both lungs, supporting realistic detection and characterization training. A dosimeter holder on the phantom’s central axis accommodates a pencil-type ion chamber for dose measurement, and an attachable 8-step cylindrical linearity phantom allows density curve control and calibration.
Training applications:
- CT image quality evaluation
- Dosimetry
- Density curve evaluation
Anatomy represented: Bones, lungs, mediastinum, simulated tumors at three lung areas, apical portion of the lungs, bifurcation of the trachea, base of lungs.
Set includes: 1 chest phantom, 1 eight-step linearity phantom, 2 urethane cylinders, 1 adjustment base, 1 set of sample images, manual.
Specifications:
- Size approx. chest girth 93cm, height 45cm
- Packing size approx. W63×D50×H29cm (W24.8×D19.7×H11.4in)
- Weight approx. 18kg
- Materials: Chest wall — human tissue substitute; bones — synthetic bones; alveoli — styrene foam and urethane foam

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does GGO mean in the context of this phantom? A: GGO stands for ground-glass opacity, a radiological finding associated with early lung cancer. This phantom includes simulated GGO-type tumors at multiple sizes and densities to support detection and characterization training.
Q: Can this phantom be used for radiation dose measurement? A: Yes — a dosimeter holder on the central axis accommodates a pencil-type ion chamber for dosimetry alongside image quality evaluation.
