A respiration phantom that may be used to perform quality assurance on a
radiation delivery system. The respiration phantom includes a human-like
skeletal structure, at least one deformable component, and a respiration
actuator. The deformable component is positionable at least partially
internal to the human-like skeletal structure, has a shape resembling an
organ of a human anatomy, and attenuates radiation substantially
similarly to the organ of the human anatomy. The respiration actuator is
positioned to deform the deformable component with a respiration-like
motion.
