TWO-AXIS APPARATUS WITH STATIONARY POSITIONING, ROTATING AND/OR SCANNING MOTION OF POINT OR LINE SOURCES

摘要

An apparatus and method for simulating a radiation phantom so as to calibrate or measure performance of a gamma detection system. The apparatus includes a line bar configured to rotate around an axis of rotation, a source carriage configured to move linearly along the line bar and to hold an attached radiation source, and a fixture assembly configured to support the line bar, the fixture assembly being configured to attach to a patient bed.
