  • Patent number: 7755031
    Abstract: A calibration phantom for quality assurance of an image-based radiotherapy apparatus The calibration phantom includes a body comprising a cylindrical acryl member having a predetermined diameter, the body having a center hole at a center axis thereof and a plurality of through-holes in outer circumferential portions thereof at a predetermined interval from the center hole; round stick-type density bars inserted into corresponding through-holes of the body and made of materials each with different densities; an acrylic cover detachably coupled with both ends of the body and having the same diameter as the body; and a plurality of bolts closely fastening the body with the cover by extending through the cover and the body and coupling with the nuts and each made of different materials. The cross-sectional shapes of the density bars and bolts appear on the image scanned by the CT apparatus and the radiotherapy apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7728285
    Abstract: Provided is a phantom device having an internal organ simulating phantom. The phantom device comprises: a phantom receiving radiation emitted from a radiation emitting unit and comprising therein a simulant that simulates an internal organ; a lifting unit installed under the phantom to support the phantom and moving the phantom relative to the radiation emitting unit, the lifting unit comprising: a worm shaft axially rotated by an external torque and having a worm formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, a cylindrical worm wheel having gear grooves formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof to engage with the worm and a female screw formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and rotated by the axial rotation of the worm shaft; and a driven screw engaging with the female screw of the worm wheel, and moved up and down by the rotation of the worm wheel to move up and down the phantom; and a horizontal moving unit interlocking with the lifting unit and horizontally moving the phantom.

  • Patent number: 7339159
    Abstract: Provided is a phantom for evaluating the accuracy of image registration software based on a result of matching tomograms of a predetermined position of the phantom, taken using two or more imaging apparatuses. Accordingly, it is possible to more efficiently evaluate the accuracy of the image registration software by comparing the tomograms with one another using a three-dimensional analysis. In addition, it is possible to facilitate the comparison of the tomograms with one another by installing a plurality of indicating bars in the phantom so that their cross sections can appear on each of the tomograms.

  • Publication number: 20080049412
    Abstract: Provided is a holder device for analyzing characteristics of a dosimeter. In the holder device, the dosimeter is located in a desired direction on a radiation path along which radiation is irradiated from a radiation emitter, and a radiation absorbance characteristic is recognized according to a radiation dose absorbed by the dosimeter. The holder device includes: a dosimeter holder fixedly supporting the dosimeter; a body having a partial spherical portion with a specific curvature, and having a plurality of mounting holes containing the dosimeter holder; and a supporter supporting the body so that the dosimeter is located on the radiation path. Accordingly, in the holder device for analyzing characteristics of a dosimeter, one or more dosimeters can be disposed at a desired angle and position with respect to a radiation emitter, characteristics of the dosimeter can be accurately analyzed, and thus radiation treatment and treatment schedule can be effectively performed.
