The line pairs of our test patterns in the digital phantoms are arranged in 45° alignment towards the central axis! |
Therefore the phantoms fully comply with the respective DIN and IEC standards. Unlike alternatively available products, the QUART line pair test patterns are made of high-quality lead foil material. This guarantees most accurate evaluation options for acceptance and constancy testing due to optimal image definition capabilities!
Simple metal foil test patterns, which are often used in non-QUART dental test phantoms, are less cost-efficient – but also less reliable for checks on image resolution properties of x-ray machines. This is caused by different densities and therefore different attenuation characteristics of the two materials: Despite being of thicker substance, other metal foils in comparison with lead foils have a lesser attenuation ratio – which results in less defined image acquisition of line pairs in the test patterns. Apparently, this decreases the validity of most test images.
The technical progress in the field of dental radiology is continuously moving on. Taking into account the new developments, the renowned QUART dental test phantoms also underwent several modifications: The Universal Test Phantoms of our latest product generation are true allrounders. They can be used for Quality Assurance (Acceptance and Constancy Testing) in each and every area of Dental Radiology. At the underpart a continuous slit has been implemented to easily slide out a wireless sensor or to route the cable of an intra-oral sensor. The middle segment containing all test elements has 2 lateral cavities to be fixed at cephalometric systems. And by using the optional Panoramic Holder, the phantom is set-up in the tomographic plane with maximum reproducibility at dental OPGs. (The digi/dent H Holder can be customized to be used with any OPG System available!) Article No.: 12107 (dent/digitest 2.1) |
The QUART dent/digitest 2.0 is a universal test phantom to be used with most types of dental radiological equipment. Its technical design is intended to provide a maximum of universality: put together for intra-oral equipment; use of the middle segment with integrated test objects for panoramic and cephalometric x-ray equipment. Article No.: 12104/6 |
The QUART dent/digitest 3.0 was developed especially for dental QA in the Austrian market. For acceptance and constancy testing compliant with the ÖNORM the digitest 3.0 incorporates additional test objects. The objects enable to check on grey-scale tolerances in x-ray imaging. Article No.: 12105/6 |
The QUART dent/digitest 1.0 is the basic version of our digital dental phantoms. It is only suitable for QA at digital intra-oral and equipment with tubular beam applicator. It also has a special slot for digital luminescent foil at the front side. Article No.: 12103/6 |
The QUART dent II is a universal test phantom for conventional intra-oral, panoramic and cephalometric x-ray equipment. In combination with the QUART dent II mpc phantom support the dent II can be firmly mounted for QA with OPG and cephalometric installations. In addition, it provides accurate homogeneity testing options in all visible areas of the phantom’s test elements Article No.: 12101 (QUART dent II) 13102 (QUART dent II mpc) |
