Ein dynamisches Herzphantom für die Qualitätskontrolle in der nuklearkardiologischen Funktionsdiagnostik

A dynamic heart phantom for the quality control of tomographic systems used in nuclear cardiology imaging was developed, built, and tested. The heart phantom anatomically simulates the left ventricle of the heart. The variable parameters are represented by the volume of the left ventricle, the temporal course of the filling event, and the frequency of the filling of the left ventricle. These parameters can reliably simulate the wall motion, wall thickening, ejection fraction, and stroke volume of the left ventricle.
