A simple and effective method for accurate and reliable bone mineral measurements.
Change in trabecular bone mineral content is an early indicator of change in metabolic function. CT, with its superior contrast discrimination, is a major tool in the evaluation of trabecular bone in the central skeleton. All CT scanners require a standard of reference to properly perform quantitative tissue analysis.
The Model 004 takes into account all know variability factors that can adversely affect the use of CT for bone densitometry. The CIRS anthropomorphic phantom design minimizes beam hardening effects and variances associted with scan field position.
