Chest and Neck phantom
Reference materials
Application
The Chest and Neck phantom is used for the calibration of whole-body counters (WBC) to measure the activity of radionuclides incorporated in the human body (lungs, thyroid gland) using scintillation and semiconductor gamma radiation detectors within the energy range of 50 to 3000 keV.
The Chest and Neck phantom can be used in radiation medicine centers, nuclear power stations, research institutes, industrial hospitals and other institutions performing radiation monitoring of personnel and population, as well as by the Federal Agency for Technical regulation and metrology in order to comply with the Traceability Law.
It is an alternative to the BOMAB phantom, eliminating the risk of leakage of radioactive solutions.

Chest with ribs and neck phantom
The Chest phantom contains left and right lung simulators, and the Neck phantom contains a thyroid gland simulator.
The Chest phantom is constructed from polyethylene units that simulate the thorax of an adult man. Inside the thorax simulator, there is a polyurethane unit representing the lung simulator (2pcs). Radionuclides (Co-60, Am-241 or other) are uniformly distributed within the lung simulators.
The Neck phantom consists of reference volumetric sources (2 pcs) with the radionuclide Ba-133 and simulates a thyroid gland with incorporated radionuclide I-131.
The Chest phantom has connection points for installing the Neck phantom.
The density of the material of lung simulator is 0.26 g/ml.
The active volume of the right lungs is 2700ml, left lungs is 2430ml.
Standard values of activity
The Checst and Neck phantoms can be provided for rent.
This phantom can be calculated using the MCC-MT software.
