Abstract:
The construction of a breathing lung phantom that can be used to measure the amount of radioactive gas in the lungs as well as to determine the absorbed dose is described. For a lung ventilation study that consists of 6 views of 300 kcnts each, an effective dose equivalent of 50 microSv was calculated. The phantom is also suitable for comparison of different generator systems.
