Applications
Find your application: every inquiry is welcome
RSD phantoms support work across imaging, therapy, and physics. All six inquiry paths below qualify for a quote, including custom projects and pricing-only requests for budgeting.
Radiation Therapy
Phantoms that support treatment-planning, dosimetry, and therapy QA workflows.
Nuclear Medicine
Models and inserts for nuclear-medicine imaging and calibration.
Health Physics
Tissue-equivalent models for health-physics measurement and research.
Quality Assurance
Reference phantoms for routine QA and equipment performance checks.
Multi-Modality
Phantoms designed for use across more than one imaging modality.
Materials & engineering
Tissue-equivalent design, engineered to standards
Sophisticated buyers compare phantom manufacturers on materials. RSD phantoms are built from tissue-equivalent materials designed to approximate the radiological properties of human tissue, with formulations aligned to the guidance of ICRU Report 44.

Founder legacy & innovation
The company that invented the category
RSD’s story begins with Samuel W. Alderson, who invented the first anthropomorphic phantom, and the crash-test dummy. That founding idea, a human-realistic surrogate engineered for measurement, defined a category.
The first anthropomorphic phantom wasn’t adapted from something else. It was invented.
That same engineering mindset drives RSD today: tissue-equivalent materials, standard and custom phantoms, and made-in-USA manufacturing: the leader in anthropomorphic phantoms and imaging since 1951.
