1. A phantom that simulates body tissue comprising diagnostic guide elements for diagnostic imaging for medical diagnosis purposes and medical calibration elements for calibrating the medical equipment,
wherein the diagnostic guide elements and medical calibration elements are a combination of the following layers:
layer A comprising steps which are located on one side of an X-axis of the phantom, wherein the steps are diagnostic guide elements;
layer B comprising one or more holes and one or more calibrator, wherein the one or more holes comprises inlaid modules comprising diagnostic guide elements or medical calibration elements;
layer C being of variable height to provide radiation absorption variability that simulates organs of different sizes and tissue type ratios;
layer D comprising steps which are located on one side of a Y-axis of the phantom, wherein the steps are diagnostic guide elements.
