Product catalog summary
Overview
The QUASAR™ Catphan® Shaker is a device designed to enhance 4D CT image quality assurance by introducing motion to a Catphan® phantom. This allows for testing and measurement of image quality at each reconstructed phase of a 4D CT cycle.
Key Features
  • Enables testing of image quality at each phase of a 4D CT cycle.
  • Moves the Catphan® phantom with programmable respiratory and sinusoidal motion profiles.
  • Compatible with motion tracking systems from various vendors.
  • Operable from a desktop or laptop computer via LAN.
Technical Specifications
  • Motion in the superior/inferior direction with programmable amplitude up to 30 mm.
  • Sinusoidal motion available with speeds from 4 to 60 breaths per minute at a fixed 40 mm amplitude.
  • Includes a chest wall platform moving in the anterior/posterior direction.
Software
The Shaker includes the QUASAR™ Respiratory Motion Software Application, which allows users to display, edit, and run motion waveforms. It supports waveform creation and import from various systems, including Varian RPM, and offers editing functions such as amplitude adjustment and noise filtering. Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
Applications
QUASAR™ tools are integral to quality assurance programs, supporting dosimetric and nondosimetric testing for planning systems, CT simulators, and delivery systems. They are useful for regular testing, system commissioning, upgrades, and repairs.

QUASAR™ Catphan Shaker-1

CATPHAN SHAKER The QUASAR™ Catphan® Shaker is designed to enable 4D CT image quality assurance by moving a Catphan® phantom with sinusoidal and programmable respiratory motion profiles. The Catphan® phantoms are the industry standard for 3D CT image quality assurance. They are used for comprehensive performance evaluation of axial, spiral and multi-slice CT scanners. Adding motion to a Catphan® phantom allows testing and measurement of image quality at each reconstructed phase of a 4D CT cycle. The Shaker moves a Catphan® phantom in the superior/inferior direction with programmable motion and amplitude up to 30 mm. Sinusoidal motion is also available with variable speed from 4 to 60 breaths per minute at a fixed 40 mm amplitude. In addition, the Shaker has a chest wall platform moving in the an- terior/posterior direction. This platform is compatible with motion tracking systems from multiple vendors.

QUASAR™ Catphan Shaker-2

CATPHAN SHAKER Respiratory Motion Software The Shaker comes with the QUASAR™ Respiratory Motion Software Application that allows you to display, edit, and run motion waveforms. Waveforms are created in the application or imported from respiratory tracking systems from multiple vendors, including the Varian RPM system, or from tab delimited spread- sheet files. Edit functions include cut, copy and paste, adjusting the amplitude, stretching or compressing the timeline, and filtering out noise, drift and cardiac signals. The Software Application is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7, and runs...
