Abstract
Phantom studies are typically the first tests when the performance of the imaging system needs to be verified or when a problem needs troubleshooting. It is not always clear whether the resulting image indicates a systematic problem with the system. Often perceived artifacts are only due to residual calibration errors or noise (quantum and system noise), yet the system being at nominal performance.
