Descriptor English: Phantoms, Imaging
Descriptor Spanish: Fantasmas de Imagen
Descriptor modelos en imaginología
Scope note: Dispositivos u objetos utilizados en diversas técnicas de imaginología para visualizar o mejorar la visualización por la estimulación de las condiciones encontradas en el procedimiento. Los fantomas se utilizan muy a menudo en procedimientos que emplean o miden la radiación X o el material radioactivo para evaluar su desempeño. A menudo tienen propiedades similares a los tejidos humanos. El agua demuestra propiedades absortivas similares al tejido normal, de aquí que los fantomas llenos de agua se utilicen para mapear los niveles de radiación. También se utilizan como auxiliares en la enseñanza, para simular las condiciones reales con los rayos X o máquinas de ultrasonidos.

Scope note: Devices or objects in various imaging techniques used to visualize or enhance visualization by simulating conditions encountered in the procedure. Phantoms are used very often in procedures employing or measuring x-irradiation or radioactive material to evaluate performance. Phantoms often have properties similar to human tissue. Water demonstrates absorbing properties similar to normal tissue, hence water-filled phantoms are used to map radiation levels. Phantoms are used also as teaching aids to simulate real conditions with x-ray or ultrasonic machines. (From Iturralde, Dictionary and Handbook of Nuclear Medicine and Clinical Imaging, 1990)
