Mouse Phantom

Project Overview

This project is for the design and development of a mouse phantom that will be used to characterize and test the micro collimator of an open source small animal imaging and therapy system. This machine includes micro CT, micro PET, and micro RT tests, and thus the mouse phantom must be compatible with all three systems. Ultimately, the system will be used to treat and image mice, and thus the phantom's model will begin with a CT scan of a real mouse. The phantom will be designed based on the different needs of possible inserts for the detectors.
