Development of a high resolution voxelised head phantom for medical physics applications

Highlights • Development of a novel voxelised head phantom with high (sub-mm) resolution. • The phantom is an accurate representation of an existing physical head phantom. • The phantom was modelled in Geant4 to characterize a novel proton CT (pCT) system. • The study shows the advantages of adoptin...

Summary:Highlights • Development of a novel voxelised head phantom with high (sub-mm) resolution. • The phantom is an accurate representation of an existing physical head phantom. • The phantom was modelled in Geant4 to characterize a novel proton CT (pCT) system. • The study shows the advantages of adopting a high resolution digital phantom in pCT. • The digital phantom can be adopted in dosimetric and imaging studies.
