LLNL Torso Phantom History

[David Hickman <dhickman@llnl.gov>]

Frieda Taylor has recently completed her thesis at San Jose State
University, which summarizes the early production of the LLNL phantom and
the qualification of the phantom. Her thesis should be avaialble soon and
is important for professionals performing in vivo measurements. Below is
information she sent me today regarding ordering a copy:

The publication number is 1384725.  To order, call UMI (University
MicroFilms Ins., Ann Arbor, Michigan) @ 1-800-521-0600, ask for a customer
service representative and give the publication number.  It is listed under
Frieda Yvonne Taylor.
 

I think you may find the information contained in Frieda's thesis useful if
you use the LLNL phantom for calibration and intercomparison.
