Phantech is your one-stop shop for innovative and customizable preclinical and clinical phantoms.

Phantech (Phantom Technology) designs, engineers and builds innovative and customizable phantom technology for the QA/QC, calibration, characterization and correction of biomedical imaging modalities including PET, SPECT, CT, optical (FL/BLI), MPI, MRI, ultrasound and radioluminescence. Phantech serves the worldwide biomedical imaging field with a mission to provide the imaging community with innovative phantom technology in order to drive more accurate, streamlined and standardized quantitative and quality management procedures. As a team of molecular imaging researchers, biomedical engineers and imaging scientists, Phantech understands the needs of our customers because develop and then apply our technology in our own imaging and therapy facilities! For example, we have developed a patented linear filling technology to overcome the presence of bubbles that compromise the accuracy of medical images, and we apply this novel concept to other preclinical and clinical phantom designs such as our partial volume correction phantoms. Most recently, Phantech has partnered with Gremse-IT (Imalytics software) to develop automated contouring of our phantoms to standardize and expedite image analysis.

If you are an imaging system manufacturer, we would like to partner with you! Phantech can create customizable phantoms kits for your imaging system and your customers.

    • Phantech has developed the Bio-Mouse; the first fillable biomimetic mouse phantom with Computed Tomography (CT) Hounsfield Unit (HU) density-equivalent bone and soft tissue. This phantom is highly versatile and can be customized to include/exclude the following organ/tissue voids: tumor(s), brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, bladder, and a background region. Phantech offers a standard 25g mouse, but custom sizes can be accommodated upon request. Voids are fillable with imaging agents for PET, SPECT, CT, X-ray, optical, MRI and MPI modalities. This phantom is commonly used for theranostics, biodistribution modeling, reconstruction optimization and testing, system performance (especially for 3-4 mouse bed configurations), training, and multi-modality applications.

    Bio-Mouse Key Features:
    •Modeled after in vivo mouse CT dataset
    •Standard 25g mouse
         oCustom sizing available
    •Proprietary materials that are Computed Tomography (CT) density matched
         oBone and soft tissue
    •Compatible for most imaging modalities, including MRI
    •Automatic segmentation and analysis with Imalytics (Gremse-IT) Preclinical Software
    •Standard fillable organs/tissues: Brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, bladder, background region
         oTumor voids can be added as a custom build
    •All fillable voids use an O-ring and screw to seal and prevent leaking

    Linearly-Filled micro Derenzo Phantom for PET, SPECT, CT, MRI and optical...

    • "Derenzo" phantoms are used to characterize an imaging system's resolution by measuring the FWHM of hole patterns with varying diameters and spacing. Holes within a size group are spaced at exactly 2D (twice the diameter) apart. Our Derenzo phantoms feature six different hole sizes arranged in triangles around the center of phantom. These phantoms also feature our patented Linear-Filling Technology, which greatly reduces the volume required to fill the phantoms, ensures even filling (no bubbles), and reduces the radiation exposure to the handler of the phantom. This is all while improving image quality by reducing noise. To see how it works, click here.

    See this video showing the filling of Phantech's single channel hot rod derenzo in <1 minute with no air bubbles!
    ​
    Our Derenzo phantoms feature two Luer Lock fittings as the inlet and outlet of the linear fluid path. To fill, simply attach two syringes, one full of activity and the other empty, to the two ports. As you slowly insert the fluid,  you will be able to see the fluid fill each channel of the pattern one rod at a time, ensuring even filling. When fluid reaches the empty syringe, the phantom pattern is full. To empty the phantom, simply reverse the process with air. Our Derenzo phantoms are available in several sizes and configurations, highlighted below!

    • Phantech’s Partial Volume Correction (PVC) phantoms are used to generate recovery coefficient (RC) calibration curves. By comparing the  measured activity concentration in each sphere to the known activity concentration, one can characterize the signal recovered as a function of sphere size (simulating tumors & organs) by an imaging system and then apply a correction factor. Quantitative accuracy is critical for molecular imaging research and theranostic personalized medicine. 

    Designed with one continuous channel connecting numerous precise spherical or ellipsoidal volumes, Phantech's PVC phantoms allow for quick, easy and safe filling. 

    See this video showing the filling of Phantech's Partial Volume Correction (PVC) phantom in <1 minute with no air bubbles!

    ​Our PVC phantoms come standard with a large internal reference calibration void that is "100%" recovered, and each sphere can be normalized to this reference void. This internal calibration method allows for a more robust and standardized method of generating RC curves because the RC accuracy is not dependent on the accuracy of another calibration device. Alternatively, RCs can be generated by comparing the activity concentration of the spheres to the true activity concentration. Our PVC phantoms also contain more measurements points (spheres) than any other PVC phantoms on the market to create the most accurate RC curves.
    ​
    Our PVC phantoms are available in 3 sizes, a 27 mm diameter, a 34 mm diameter, and a 49 mm diameter, as detailed below. Contact us today for availability, lead times, and pricing. Need a custom size? Contact us about custom pricing.     Options include a full 360 ̊ or half 180 ̊ sleeve for a "warm" spill-in compartment, a second channel of "micro-spheres", and additional ellipsoidal PVC phantoms with varying aspect ratios (i.e. 1:2 & 2:3) to create a comprehensive 3D recovery coefficient correction curve.
