Description
Newborn Skull for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Product Description
The Newborn Skull Phantom is a high-fidelity multipurpose tool designed for medical imaging research and treatment planning, specifically for non-invasive High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) brain surgeries. This phantom is modeled after the average anatomy of a newborn human skull and is cast from a patented ceramic-reinforced epoxy-based bone material.
The material properties are optimized to accurately replicate the physical, acoustical, and thermal characteristics of real newborn bone across X-Ray/CT, Ultrasound, and MRI modalities. It provides a realistic platform for studying ultrasound wave propagation and MRI signal characteristics (T2 signal) in a pediatric context. The phantom is modular, and any specific part of the skull can be fabricated or customized based on specific research orders.
Note: Customization is a core strength of this product line, allowing for variations in bone density or specific anatomical focus to suit the needs of medical practitioners and researchers.
