Gammex RMI® is a leader

in the manufacture and

distribution of quality control

devices for medical imaging

and radiation therapy, including

laser alignment systems.

Gammex RMI® was incorporated

in 1969 to manufacture laser

alignment devices for medical

imaging and oncology treatment.

The acquisition of RMI in 1987

gave the company the ability to

manufacture quality control

equipment for ultrasound,

diagnostic radiology and

mammography.

When there is little room for

error, choose the wide range

of Gammex RMI® quality

assurance products.

The Diagnostic

Radiology

product line

offers a wide

range of

solutions for

maintaining

the accuracy

of medical

imaging equipment

within the radiographic,

fluoroscopic and CT modalities. Our latest

development is the Model 464 ACR CT

Phantom that has become the new testing

standard for CT scanners as defined by the

ACR accreditation program.

Gammex RMI®, a

respected leader in

laser alignment,

introduces the ProbeG

to its product line. With

the ProbeG, you enjoy

Gammex RMI® reliability.

It’s engineered for quick,

easy installation and

there’s no need for

constant adjustments.

To protect the diode,

the ProbeG laser uses both shielding and a

unique electronic method – critical features

for extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Solid Water® is an industry standard that

Gammex RMI® introduced 15 years ago to

simplify radiation beam measurements. The

material is designed for photon, electron or

gamma ray applications. It eliminates the

inconvenience of transporting, setting up

and filling water tanks.

The NEW Gammex 469 IMRT Phantom is

constructed of Solid Water® material and

offers simple, highly reliable dose validation

of complex 3D treatment plans.

Gammex RMI®

offers tissue

mimicking

phantoms

using the latest

patented gel

technology.

The phantoms

are designed

to maintain

the accuracy

and consistency of ultrasound scanning

equipment. Image quality indicators measure

the performance characteristics that affect

the diagnostic value of the ultrasound image.

Our phantoms may be used to measure

depth of penetration, vertical and horizontal

distance accuracy, image uniformity, axial

and lateral resolution and the system’s

ability to accurately display negative

contrast objects and differentiate between

different contrast densities.

Computed Tomography (CT) has become a

widely used and accepted means of medical

imaging today. Gammex RMI® recognizes its

importance in patient diagnosis as well as

radiation therapy treatment planning.

Therefore, Gammex RMI® has developed

quality assurance phantoms, most notably the

new ACR Accreditation Phantom designed to

assess overall image quality. Other products

including our Model 467 Electron Density CT

Phantom and the Model A3000A CT Sim

Laser Tracking System which interface with

all RTP software systems on the market and

have become integral components of the

treatment planning process.
