40634
Brachytherapy radionuclide phantom, anthropomorphic (A device that consists of preserved human or animal tissue, or a two or three-dimensional (3-D) tissue-equivalent model designed to simulate the functional, physical, or a combination of these characteristics of normal or diseased human organs. Available in both fixed and variable designs it allows for the insertion of brachytherapy sources or source assemblies, including holders for ionization chambers, dosimeters or other radiation measurement instruments. Some may evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound probes used to guide source placement. It is a quality assurance (QA) device enabling detailed simulations of remote afterloading and manual brachytherapy radiation dose distributions.)
