The use of artificial ionizing radiation has also been employed in several areas, namely:
medicine, agriculture, industry, ink curing, etc. However, the use of radiation for medical
purposes of diagnosis or therapy is being treated with more attention due to its increased use
and the use of simulators object for quality control and training of professionals. The phantoms
and are used to aid radiographic procedures, they may simulate a part of the body, both in its
form as mass, density, and attenuation. The objective of this work was the development and
application of liver anthropomorphic phantom for use in diagnostic radiology and training
professionals. The construction of the liver anthropomorphic phantom was through literature and
it was noticed that the use of phantoms are relatively low. For the construction of the mold of the
phantom was used an adult human liver with early cirrhosis that was preserved in formalin for
teaching demonstrations in Prof. Osvaldo Cruz, Human Anatomy Museum collection of the
Federal University of Sergipe. With this work, we emphasize the need for the control rogram
and quality assurance in radiology doctor to ensure image quality and low exposure of patients
and professionals, since the radiological examinations are extremely important, because its
contribution decisively in medical diagnosis.
