Standardized Performance Testing for PET & SPECT Systems
The NEMA IEC NM Body Phantom is designed for accurate, standardized performance testing and calibration of PET and SPECT nuclear medicine imaging systems. It ensures compliance with NEMA and IEC quality assurance standards while supporting reliable validation and verification of imaging performance.
Ideal for routine QA programs, annual scanner evaluations, and multi-system harmonization, the phantom replicates human anatomical features and tissue characteristics to provide realistic and reproducible testing conditions.

Quantitative SPECT Tissue Characterization
Four-quadrant Bar Phantoms
Provides consistent performance information for any SPECT or PET system.
Six Concentric aluminum tubes used to detect camera sensitivity in PET.
Determine the imaging systems relative sensitivity to scatter radiation.
Provides a multi-function simulation of the left ventricle, and can be used to evaluate SPECT imaging of cold defects within the “myocardium.”
Used to produce three 1 mm diameter parallel lines of tracer material spaced 7.5 cm apart.
Designed in accordance with the recommendations by NEMA to standardize the measurement of reconstructed spatial resolution of SPECT.
Made of clear Lucite designed to represent a patient’s neck. The phantom has a two part insert that allows counting in a bottle or vial, as well as capsule counting. Meets all suggested requirements for use in counting a thyroid uptake standard source.
Meets guidelines in AAPM Report #1 for performance and quality assurance of CT scanners.
Simplifies and speeds the acquisition set-up time and increases the reproducibility of the QC measurements.
