Development of a novel voxelised head phantom with high (sub-mm) resolution. The phantom is an accurate representation of an existing physical head phantom. The phantom was modelled in Geant4 to characterize a novel proton CT (pCT) system. The study shows the advantages of adopting a high resolution digital phantom in pCT. The digital phantom can be adopted in dosimetric and imaging studies.
