Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Adult Human Skull Phantom is an ideal tool for medical imaging research and treatment planning for non-invasive HIFU brain surgeries. It can be customized on request.

For MRI applications , the phantom’s tissues exhibit realistic T2 relaxation time values, making it an excellent fit for T2-weighted MRI imaging techniques. Proton Density imaging methods also yield high-quality outcomes. While T1-weighted techniques are viable, T1 values are less accurate, falling within the approximate range of 100 ms.

The design of this phantom is based on the actual CT scan of a human male head. The Skull is cast out of a realistic patented epoxy-based bone material that is suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications (any other part of the skull can be fabricated based on the customer’s order).

The phantom has a realistic three-layered structure with an inner porosity (diploe) that can be adjusted according to the project’s requirements. The phantom realistically mimics the thickness of a real human skull. This skull phantom includes the four paranasal sinuses.

The skull phantom in the images above includes pins to attach the removable calvaria to the base of the skull. These pins are NOT water-sealable. If you require the skull to be water-sealable, another option for this seal is available upon request.
