    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging Physics
    • Radiological Technology

    Context:

    • Motion artifacts significantly degrade the quality of computed tomography (CT) images.
    • Assessing scanner-dependent and object-dependent factors influencing motion artifacts is crucial for image fidelity.
    • Quality assurance in CT imaging requires standardized and reliable phantoms for performance evaluation.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a versatile phantom designed for the investigation of motion artifacts in CT imaging.
    • To enable the evaluation of factors influencing motion artifact severity and type.
    • To serve as a tool for quality assurance measurements in computer tomography.

    Summary:

    • A cylindrical phantom, constructed from lucite, features a centrally mounted, motor-driven rotating insert.
    • Interchangeable inserts allow for testing with various materials or fluid-filled vessels, simulating different scan scenarios.
