scope:

This standard provides the specifications for the design, fabrication, and quality (accuracy and precision) of new BOMAB phantoms. It is not intended to be applied to phantoms manufactured prior to the issuance of this standard. This standard addresses material composition, physical specifications, incorporation of the radioactive material in the phantom, quality assurance, quality control, and records. The standard does not specify particular fabrication techniques or specific component testing techniques, but instead addresses specifications for the finished phantom.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide specifications for the BOMAB phantom. The specifications provide guidelines to help ensure the BOMAB phantom adequately simulates the body for purposes of calibrating in vivo measurement systems. Specifications are provided for the design and fabrication of BOMAB phantoms that simulate several different body sizes. This standard should be used to guide fabrication of BOMAB phantoms of any size.
