HD-QC1 serves as an ideal tool to study target localization and dose delivery under the image guidance of CT, MRI, and PET. The anthropomorphic features include a lifelike skull with cortical and trabecular bone structures, simulated brain(white and gray matter), cervical vertebrae, sinus cavities, larynx, trachea, and oral cavities.
In addition to this, it can be customized with tissue-equivalent inserts for QA applications.
