Description
PH-1 is used in a study by the FDA to create a database of CT scans with different scanners and protocols, as a resource for assessment of lung nodule size estimation method.
| Features | 1. Radiation absorption and HU number approximate to human body, in an arms-abducted position suits the CT. 2.Simulated tumors and other targets can be attached at any points in the lung fields. 3. Wide variety of uses in interpretation training, anatomical education, evaluation and assessment of devices and other research. |

Why Choose the Multipurpose Chest Phantom N1 “LUNGMAN” for Lung Nodule Research and CT Training in India?
The Multipurpose Chest Phantom N1 “LUNGMAN” (Item No. PH-1, Brand: Kyoto Kagaku, Japan) is a research-grade chest phantom used in an FDA-related study to build a multi-scanner, multi-protocol database of CT scans for lung nodule size estimation research. Developed under the supervision of Kiyoshi Murata, Professor, Department of Radiology, Shiga Medical University, and Norihisa Nitta, Director of Angiography Center, Kyoto Okamoto Memorial Hospital.
The phantom’s radiation absorption and HU values closely approximate the human body, positioned with arms abducted to suit CT scanning. Simulated tumors and other targets can be attached at any point in the lung fields, supporting a wide range of applications from interpretation training to anatomical education and device evaluation research. The phantom contains no metal parts or liquid structure.
Training applications:
- CT interpretation training
- Anatomical education
- Device evaluation and research
- Lung nodule detection and volumetry research
