Description
Cylindrical Head for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Product Description
The Cylindrical Head Phantom is an ideal tool for medical imaging research, specifically designed for applications in computed tomography and ultrasound tomography. The phantom features a skull cast from a patented epoxy-based bone material and realistic brain tissue, making it compatible with Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT. The cylindrical skull has a realistic three-layered structure with adjustable inner porosity (diploe).
For MRI, the tissues offer realistic T2 relaxation time values, optimized for T2-weighted and proton-density imaging. T1-weighted imaging is possible, with values typically within the 100 ms range. The model realistically mimics the acoustical and biomechanical properties of a real human skull and brain.
Note: This phantom can be fully customized to meet specific project requirements, including adjustments to bone porosity and internal anatomical features.
