Abstract
We report on a new calibration phantom for quantitative computed tomography which been improved with respect reference materials and geometrical setup. Instead of liquid calibration solutions, we use polyethylene-based water, and bone-equivalent plastics. The size of the phantom is considerably reduced by using two samples. This design guarantees long-term stability and it offers advantages with respect to radiation geometry.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
