Canine Phantom for Ultrasound
Product Description
The Canine Phantom for Ultrasound is engineered for high-fidelity veterinary education and hands-on training. This model features ultrasoft abdominal tissue to provide realistic scanning feedback. Based on a CT dataset of a male Bull MastiffRhodesian Ridgeback cross, it delivers exceptional anatomical authenticity through AI-refined reconstruction.
This phantom supports a wide spectrum of applications, including ultrasound instruction, diagnostic imaging, and ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures within the abdominal area. While primarily designed for ultrasound, it remains compatible with X-Ray and CT imaging.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. It includes a protective coat that increases tissue hardness from Shore OO 30 to approximately OO 60.
