The PET emission phantom L981602 was published by a task group of the Commission of the European Community
(CEC Concerted Action Project). The phantom has been developed in line with the philosophy that assessment of a clinical measuring system should always be made under the most realistic conditions possible to imitate the patient's influence as an absorbing and scattering medium. One of the circular covers with different inserts may be mounted to the head phantom H or to the body phantom B, with a water tight seal in all cases. The possibility of filling and emptying the inserts and phantom from outside is one of the main advantages of this phantom.
