Description

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

This phantom is based on an average human anatomy and its skeleton is individually cast from a realistic patented bone material that is suitable for X-Ray CT, Ultrasound, and MRI applications. It can be used for medical imaging research and radiology training and can also serve as a customized tool for equipment testing and calibration-related work .

The vertebrae have a realistic three-layered structure with inner porosity, which can be adjusted according to the requirement of the particular project. The lungs installed inside this torso can be customized in several ways to simulate any pathology, such as mucus, lesions, and typical infections.

In terms of MRI applications, the phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values, which makes this product to be the best fit for any T2-weighted MRI imaging methods. Very good results can also be achieved with proton-density imaging methods. The phantom can still be imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.

Upon request, this phantom can also be customized in size and shape (i.e. based on the individual’s CT scan).

Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin feature can be included upon request.
