An artificial skeleton was designed and placed inside a bottle manikin absorber phantom to provide a new reference standard for measurements of total body calcium by in vivo neutron activation analysis at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The composition of the epoxy-based calcium and phosphorus mixture used to construct the skeleton, the dimensions and weight of each bone are given for two phantoms representing an adult male and female. Also, the dimensions, composition, and weights of overlays designed to simulate the influence of obesity on in vivo neutron activation analysis are given for each.
