Whole body phantom ARDF-09T

           The anthropomorphic organotropic whole body phantom ARDF-09T is shaped as a collapsible model of an adult man, aged 18-20 years, with body parameters in keeping with the ICRP recommendation and the corresponding picture in a human anatomy atlas.

            The background phantom not containing radionuclide organs models, is intended for measuring absorbed doses of X-ray, bremsstrahlung and gamma radiation in organs and tissues of the phantom from external ionizing radiation sources using thermoluminescent detectors (TLD).

            The radionuclide phantom containing radionuclide organs models is intended for calibrating spectrometers of human radiation.

Features

-  Correspondence with structure of human body and its organs (anthropomorphism)
-  Tissue equivalence to biological tissues
-  Uniformity of distribution of components and activities by volume
-  Chemical inertness and stability
-  Hygienic in comparison with  samples of biological tissues
-  Possibility of introduction of  required activity of radionuclides
-  Certificate of Russian State Standard

Modifications (standard versions)

- ARDF-09T background phantom
- ARDF-09T radionuclide phantom
- Individual phantoms of  head, neck, torso, arms and legs (collapsible models in background as well as in radionuclide version)
