Newborn Head (Complex) for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Product Description
The Newborn Head (Complex) Phantom is a high-fidelity training tool designed for diagnostic medical imaging and Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). Based on an average newborn head, it is constructed from realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for X-Ray CT, Ultrasound, and MRI. The model was developed in collaboration with physician experts from the Sonographic Clinical Assessment of the Newborn (SCAN) Training Program at the University of Calgary (Department of Pediatrics).
This phantom provides highly accurate neonatal brain anatomy for hands-on training and imaging system calibration. It supports repeated scanning in training environments without the risk associated with scanning real patients. It is compatible with various contrast mediums, including Barium-sulfate, Iodine-based, and Microbubble agents.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. A skin feature can be included upon request. This non-invasive model requires no needle or fluid insertion for standard operation.
