Dosimetry in the Head Phantom
Provisions are made for the installation of the dosimetric cylinder at two locations in the cranium. One is on the CC axis of the head close to the apex. The other is near one side of the head at about ear level. Both cylinders are perpendicular to the transverse planes of the head. Since the dose at only one location is to be measured at a time, the other location is filled with a dry-water cylinder with no dosimetric provisions. The target can be located uniquely by an initial CT scan.

Known for developing the crash-test dummy that transformed the automotive industry, Samuel W. Alderson applied his impactful research and development in replicating the human body to revolutionize the medical industry with phantoms. RSD’s team of experts has perfected the design and construction of “superhuman” bones as a result of our detailed attention to skeleton construction which is considered a triumph of our sculptural mold maker’s craft. All RSD products are custom-made in the USA, rigorously tested for quality assurance, and guaranteed with a 2-year limited warranty. It’s a well-known fact that we, at RSD, have a longstanding passion for phantoms!
