Example Sentences:
Phantom
Definition:
(n.) That which has only an apparent existence; an apparition; a specter; a phantasm; a sprite; an airy spirit; an ideal image.
Example Sentences:
(1) This is due to changes with energy in the relative backscattered electron fluence between chamber support and phantom materials.

(3) This technique is compared with calculated outline and ring source attenuation correction techniques in a pie phantom.
(4) To evaluate image quality a perspex phantom with image quality test objects was used.
(5) The validity of the response of this probe to Y-90 and its clinical application were assessed with a phantom containing varying activities and with biopsy samples obtained from patients being treated with SIR therapy.
(6) Preliminary heating patterns studied in phantoms indicate the possibility of treating volumes greater than 2000 cm3 within the 50 per cent isotherm.
(7) With the addition of a preservative, the phantom could be used for experiments on heating, without degeneration, for over one year.
(8) Diffusion coefficients measured on images of water and acetone phantoms were consistent with published values.
(9) The incidence of phantom pain and nonpainful phantom sensations was 13.3% and 15.0%, respectively, 3 weeks after mastectomy, 12.7% and 11.8%, respectively, after a year, and 17.4% and 11.8%, respectively, after 6 years.
(10) Phantom studies simulating clinical conditions showed no significant difference in performance at 140 keV.
(11) In addition, normalized organ dose to the breast, active bone marrow, thyroid, eyes, ovaries, and testes were measured in a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom comparing the anteroposterior and posteroanterior projections.
(12) Studies carried out on the phantom have shown how reliable transverse diameter measurements of the pelvis are when carried out by X-Ray scanning pelvimetry compared with conventional X-Ray pelvimetry.
(13) A comparison is made between five irradiation methods, the dose distribution and volume doses of which had been ascertained by means of two phantoms presupposed differently large.
(14) Analysis of the penumbra width of cross dose distributions, as a function of field sizes, allowed us to postulate that the dmax shift could be due to the phantom scattered photons, which in turn were generated by the collimator scattered photons.
