LAWRENCE LIVERMORE REALISTIC PHANTOM A Worldwide Reference Standard for In-Vivo Counting The Lawrence Livermore Realistic Phantom was developed under the direction of the U.S Department of Energy, primarily as a reference standard for the in-vivo counting of emissions from low-energy transuranic nuclides. Organs All organs are made of soft-tissue equivalent materials. Lungs are available with nuclides uniformly dispersed throughout the lung molding material. Optional organs (developed by RSD and not part of the original DOE specifications) are inert, but have holes in 2 cm2 grids. These either can be filled with inert plugs or with active capsules to establish any desired distribution within the lungs. The liver as the same loading flexibility, but another option is available, designed for use with solutions having relatively short half-lives. This liver is a hollow shell with a fill/drain port. Chest Overlay Plates Transuranic emissions from individuals with varying amounts of muscle and/or adipose tissue may be so attenuated as to be undetectable. Chest overlay plates were developed to ensure the validity of in-vivo counting of such individuals. Targets Three sets of concentric circles are drawn in permanent black ink over the torso cover and over each chest overlay plate. They range in 1 in. increments from 1 in. to 5 in. in diameter, with a 5.5 in. diameter outer circle. One set of circles is placed over each lung region, with the outer circle tangent to the inferior aspect of the clavicle and protruding over the sternum. The third set is placed over the liver.
