Project Description

Pro-Dent CT mk II – versatile phantom for dental professionals

The new Pro-Dent CT mk II phantom is a versatile quality control tool of dental Cone-Beam CT, Dental Volume Tomography (DVT) and other 3D imaging devices according to the Radiation Protection Report no 172 by SEDENTEXCT.

‍

The phantom consists of a main PMMA cylinder that houses modules with different test objects. Thanks to this design, you can perform tests with devices with a small FOV at different positions in the 160 mm phantom.

  • XY high contrast resolution (aluminum/polymer) – 1.0, 1.7, 2.0, 2.5, 2.8, 4.0, 5.0 LP/mm
  • Z high contrast resolution (aluminum/polymer) – 1.0, 1.7, 2.0, 2.5, 2.8, 4.0, 5.0 LP/mm
  • 6 low-contrast groups of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 mm rods made of: aluminum, PTFE, POM-C (delrin), PE-300, air and water emulating epoxy; background made of PMMA
  • 10 mm rods made of aluminum, PTFE, POM-C (delrin), PE-300, air and water emulating epoxy suspended in PMMA – pixel intensity / HU values samples
  • stacked 20 mm diameter contrast-to-noise discs made of aluminum, PTFE, POM-C (delrin), PE-300 and air suspended in PMMA
  • three 5.0 mm diameter titanium rods embedded in PMMA – beam hardening artefacts

Slice geometry section

  • 20 mm thick module with two pairs of aluminum ramps and empty rods in vertexes of a square for detailed evaluation of slice thickness and geometry and laser position verification

Geometric distortion section

  • an array of 2.0 mm diameter, 3.0 mm long holes uniformly pitched at 10.0 mm intervals
