Description

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

This Cylindrical Skull Phantom is an ideal tool for medical imaging research. It can be customized on request.

The Skull is cast out of a realistic patented epoxy-based bone material that is suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications. 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 properties of a real human skull .

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.
