The NEMA/IEC 2001 PET Phantom consists of a
body phantom, a fillable lung insert and an insert with six various size
spheres that are fillable from the outside of the phantom.
The cylindrical insert is filled with Styrofoam beads. The user fills the
chamber with liquid. It is designed in accordance with the recommendations
by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and modified by the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA.) It is recommended for
use in the evaluation of reconstructed image quality in whole body PET
imaging.
