Description
Adult Skull for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Product Description
The Adult Skull Phantom is an advanced medical imaging tool based on the actual CT scan of a human male head. It is designed for medical imaging research and treatment planning, specifically for non-invasive High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) brain surgeries. The skull is cast from a patented ceramic-reinforced epoxy-based bone material that is compatible with Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications.
The phantom features a realistic three-layered structure—replicating cortical and trabecular bone—with an inner porosity (diploe) that can be adjusted to meet specific research needs. For MRI, the bone material provides realistic T2 relaxation time values, making it ideal for T2-weighted and proton density imaging. It realistically mimics the thickness and anatomical complexity of a real human skull.
Note: This phantom is available as "Adult Skull (Without Brain)" or "Adult Skull (With Brain)". While a removable calvaria is standard, water-sealable options and custom pin attachments are available upon request for specific research setups.
