What Is the Hologic Unwarp Phantom (TLS-00354)?
Product: Hologic Unwarp Phantom
Part Number: TLS-00354
The Hologic Unwarp Phantom (TLS-00354) is a calibration tool used during the image geometry correction process on Hologic image-intensifier-based mini C-arms. Image intensifiers inherently introduce geometric distortion into the fluoroscopic image — a phenomenon known as image warping or pincushion distortion caused by the curved input phosphor and the electron optics within the II tube. The unwarp phantom is a physical calibration target with a precisely machined grid of radiopaque markers at known positions. During the unwarp calibration procedure, the system images the phantom under X-ray, then uses the known marker positions to mathematically characterize and correct the geometric distortion introduced by the image intensifier. The result is a geometrically accurate, corrected image suitable for clinical use. This calibration is required after image intensifier replacement, image board replacement, or any service that may have altered the geometric relationship between the X-ray source, image intensifier, and camera.

Compatible Systems
The unwarp phantom is used with Hologic image-intensifier-based systems. The Hologic InSight FD and InSight FD Flex use a flat panel detector and do not use an image intensifier unwarp procedure.

What is image warping and why does it need to be corrected?+
Image intensifiers inherently introduce geometric distortion into the fluoroscopic image due to the curved input phosphor and electron optics within the II tube. This distortion — known as pincushion or barrel distortion — causes straight lines in the imaged anatomy to appear curved or warped on the display. Without correction, measurements and anatomical assessments made from the image may be inaccurate. The unwarp calibration uses the phantom's known marker positions to mathematically characterize and correct this distortion, producing a geometrically accurate image.
When is the unwarp calibration required?+
The unwarp calibration is required after image intensifier replacement, image board replacement, or any service event that may have altered the geometric relationship between the X-ray source, image intensifier, and camera. It may also be required as part of a periodic preventive maintenance schedule. A qualified service engineer will determine when calibration is required based on the service performed.
