The purpose and subject of this book is to provide a comprehensive
overview of all types of phantoms used in medical imaging, therapy,
nuclear medicine and health physics. For ionizing radiation,
dosimetry with respect to issues of material composition, shape,
and motion/position effects are all highlighted. For medical
imaging, each type of technology will need specific materials and
designs, and the physics and indications will be explored for each
type. Health physics phantoms are concerned with some of the same
issues such as material heterogeneity, but also unique issues such
as organ-specific radiation dose from sources distributed in other
organs. Readers will be able to use this book to select the
appropriate phantom from a vendor at a clinic, to learn from as a
student, to choose materials for custom phantom design, to design
dynamic features, and as a reference for a variety of applications.
Some of the information enclosed is found in other sources, divided
especially along the three categories of imaging, therapy, and
health physics. To our knowledge, even though professionally, many
medical physicists need to bridge the three catagories described
above.
