Kyoto Kagaku Chest Phantom Family
Thorax contains organs crucial for our lives, and lung cancer remains to be thetop cancer. Here’s a family of chest phantoms that support pursuit for better
diagnosis and treatment.

Study, Training and Standardization for Better Practices – our chest phantoms are
optimal for safe chest radiology study and training.

PH-1C Pediatric Chest Phantom

Due to the current respiratory pandemic, chest imaging has come to be understood as a crucialelement in all radiology departments, reminding us that study and experience are necessary fortraining the next generation of radiologists and radiographers for future scenarios which may
require experience in mass casualty incident planning, effective use of limited resources, proper
infection prevention, and standardized imaging and interpretation. (Coronavirus Outbreak: Is Radiology Ready?

An extensive range of Kyoto Kagaku chest phantoms isready for study and training toward this new era of chest
imaging. The following are just a fraction of examples ofhow phantoms are used in pursuit of better imaging.
