FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Radiography/Fluoroscopy Phantom for CR/DR

Norfolk, Virginia (January 30, 2009) CIRS is pleased to announce that the Model 903 Radiography/Fluoroscopy QA Phantom is also suitable for use with CR/DR systems. The Model 903 can be used for initial QA assessment and routine monthly QA testing to help ensure patients are receiving the best possible X-ray examinations.

The CIRS Model 903 is manufactured from PMMA equivalent epoxy that offers the same X-ray attenuation properties as acrylic with significantly greater durability. The overall phantom measures 25 cm wide x 25 cm long x 20.7 cm high and consists of three attenuation plates, one test object plate and a detachable stand for easy, reproducible set-up.  Test objects include high-resolution copper mesh targets from 12 – 80 lines per inch and two separate contrast-detail test objects.
