Low contrast phantom section
F.5
The low contrast phantom section consists of a 165 mm diam-
eter, 25 mm thick, water-equivalent, brown plastic cylinder. A
clear plastic insert at the center contains 3 sets of low contrast
pins (with diameters of 3, 4, 5 mm, each set with 4 pins),
together with two 20 mm diameter measurement areas.

Schematic diagram

The two 20 mm diameter measurement areas are used to estab-
lish low contrast differences between the pins and the sur-
rounding area. The rated contrast between the pins and the sur-
rounding area is 6 HU 1 HU (0.6 % 0.1 % contrast).
