The Phantom Laboratory

The Phantom Laboratory is a private medical device and quality assurance company serving the medical imaging and radiation therapy markets. The company designs and manufactures high-precision phantoms, including well-known CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, breast tomosynthesis, and custom test objects used for equipment characterization, calibration, and quality assurance. It also operates a software division, Image Owl, which offers TotalQA, a cloud-based platform for automated phantom image analysis and machine QA workflow management. Founded in 1989 through the acquisition of the radiological phantom business of Alderson Research Laboratories, the company appears to be a long-standing commercial supplier rather than a drug-development biotech. Its business is healthcare-related, but focused on imaging QA tools and associated software rather than therapeutics.
