Building an orthopaedic CT phantom for under £50

'Ready-access' CT imaging for an orthopaedic trauma clinic.

'Ready-Access' to CT imaging facilities in Orthopaedic Trauma Clinics is not a standard facility. This facility has been available at the regional trauma unit, in Merlin Park Hospital, Galway for the past four years. We reviewed the use of this facility over a 2-year period when 100 patients had CT scans as part of their trauma clinic assessment. The rate of CT scan per clinic was 0.6. The mean...

Design and Fabrication Process of MTF Phantom CT Scan

Introduction: One of the main steps in the optimization process in diagnostic imaging is the quality control of radiology devices. The usual method of CT scan calibration is used of a phantom. The phantom created a certain weakening for the radiation through which it passes. One of the most suitable methods for quantitative analysis of the resolution and contrast in CT scan im...

Robotically assisted lung biopsy under CT fluoroscopy: lung cancer screening and phantom study

Lung cancer is an important clinical problem and lung cancer screening may lead to an early diagnosis. CT fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsy is a popular method for obtaining a tissue sample for lung cancer diagnosis. However, the radiation exposure for the physician associated with CT fluoroscopy may limit more widespread adoption of this technique. The use of a robotic needle driver that can hold...
