PH-1

Multipurpose Chest Phantom N1 "LUNGMAN"
Broad range of possible applications in research and training.
Multipurpose
Applicable for both plain radiography and CTscanning.
Wide variety of uses in interpretation training,anatomical education, evaluation and assessment ofdevices and other research.

Accurate anatomy and high quality
substitute materials
The phantom is an accurate life-size anatomical
model of a human torso.
The thickness of the chest wall is based on
measurement of clinical data.
The soft tissue substitute material and synthetic
bones have x-ray absorption rates very close to thoseof human tissues.
Production supervision:
Kiyoshi Murata, Ph.D. Professor
Norihisa Nitta, Ph.D.
Shiga University of Medical Science

Computed tomography

The phantom provides life-like radiographs very close toactual clinical images.
The three-dimensional structure allows both PA andLATERAL images to be obtained. The phantom bones
and vessels show life-like contrast gradations on theimage along with tube voltages.

Arms-abducted position of the torso suits the CTscanning.
The pulmonary vessels are spatially traceable.
Assessment of computer-aided detection systems ispossible.
3D reconstruction of CT data

PH-1 is used in a CT study by the FDA to create a
database of scanned images.

Set Includes:
１male chest torso
main body: synthetic bones are embedded
internal parts: separates into four parts
mediastinum: heart, trachea
pulmonary vessels (right and left)
abdomen (diaphragm) block: no internal structure
15 simulated tumors (15 variations)
3 varieties of Hounsﬁeld number: approx. -800, -630, +100
5 sizes for each type:
diameters 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 mm
diameters 0.12, 0.2, 0.32, 0.39, 0.47 inch
phantom size:
approx. 43W x 20D x 46H cm, chest girth 94 cm
approx.17W x 8D x 18H inch, chest girth 37 inch
phantom weight:
approx. 18 kg
approx. 39.6 ibs
packing size:
approx. 65W x 55D x 29H cm, 25 kg
approx. 26W x 22D x 11H inch, 55.1 lb.

Comparison between Plain X-ray and CT, as
well as between these images and the direct
observation of the phantom, helps trainees
to have three dimensional understanding
and to improve X-ray interpretation skills.

A48-1Bronchus andBlood Vessels Model
Bronchus and Blood Vessels Modelis a life size model that shows three
dimensional structure of thebronchus, the pulmonary arteries,and veins in detail. Bronchial tree
are made up to fourth bronchus
and color-coded according tobronchopulmonary segments.
Aortic valves and left ventricle arealso shown on the model.
