Description

This standard provides the specifications for the design and
fabrication of physical thyroid phantoms to be used in the
calibration of in vivo measurement systems. This standard includes
criteria for acceptable materials, physical specifications, quality
assurance, and quality control. This standard does not specify
fabrication techniques or component testing techniques.

This standard provides guidance for modeling acceptable
nonphysical, computational thyroid phantoms. Quality assurance
requirements are provided for the use of the model in Monte Carlo
computations.

This standard recommends good practices as to the use of thyroid
phantoms for radiological dosimetry purposes, including uncertainty
assessment from improper calibrations.

Purpose

This standard establishes the criteria for acceptable design,
fabrication, or modeling of a phantom suitable for calibrating
monitoring systems for in vivo measurement of photon-emitting
radionuclides deposited in the thyroid.
