Sources for plastic spheres
Hi,
We're looking to make a stability/QA phantom, probably following the BIRN recipe, and we of course want to do it on the cheap (we can buy one for about $1K, but we'd like to spend substantially less. The hitch is finding the appropriate plastic sphere to make the phantom in. Where do these come from? Do the manufacturers all make their own? I'm thinking of something like the GE Braino phantom or one of the acrylic spheres that come with the Trio. I've looked for these things over the years, but always come up short...
Any help would be appreciated,
Blaise
