The NEMA/IEC 2001 PET Phantom consists of a body phantom, a fillable lung insert and a insert with six various size spheres that are fillable from the outside of the phantom.
The cylindrical insert is filled with Stryrofoam® 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.
