Lung Nodule Simulator for Quantitative CT
The most effective imaging technique for pulmonary nodules.
| The reference nodules, derived from clinical experience, are submitted to stringent quality control procedures because they serve as the standard density above which calcification is considered to be present. Extensive certification procedures are followed for each phantom and for each of the fifteen reference nodules. The diagnostic methodology that uses these phantoms was developed as a result of the pioneering research by Dr. Stanley Siegelman, Dr. Elias Zerhouni and their colleagues. The phantoms, themselves, were developed by CIRS in consultation with Dr. Zerhouni. |
The CIRS series of CT Lung Nodule simulators is fabricated from specially formulated
tissue-equivalent materials and each part is individually tested before being molded in a
70 step, controlled process.
