Phantom for high resolution NM and PET systems performance evaluation (collimator, artifacts, calibration, reconstruction parameters).
Among other things, it can be used to evaluate: COR error, non-uniformity artifacts, changes of ROR on spatial resolution, reconstruction filters on spatial resolution, attenuation and scatter compensation.
