Description
What this equipment is and what it's designed for.
The Adult Knee phantom has an internal structure and anatomy based on the average knee of an adult human male. The synthetic bones used in this phantom are made out of our patented material, which is best suited for X-Ray, CT and US imaging applications. The soft tissue is made from realistic urethane-based tissue-mimicking materials.
The phantom can be used as a tool to conduct medical imaging research, radiology training, and testing. This product can be further customized to match a wide variety of project requirements.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin finish can be included upon request.
