Description
Adult Head (Standard) for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Product Description
The Adult Head (Standard) phantom is designed based on an average human male head using realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT. This versatile phantom includes inflatable ventricles that can be filled with liquid to closely approximate real cerebral anatomy. The brain parenchyma is made from an ultra-soft polyurethane-based material that mimics soft tissue and is stable over time.
The model is suitable for angiography purposes and compatible with various contrast mediums (Barium-sulfate, Iodine, Gadolinium, etc.). For MRI applications, the phantom provides realistic T2 relaxation time values, perfectly fitting T2-weighted and proton-density imaging methods. T1-weighted imaging is possible, with values typically within the 100 ms range.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. A skin feature can be included upon request. Protective urethane coating increases body tissue hardness by approx. 30 points (e.g., from OO 60 to OO 90).
Anatomy
- Skull: Realistic three-layered structure with inner diploe layer.
- Brain: Grey Matter, Falx Cerebri, and inflatable Brain Ventricles (lateral, third, and fourth).
- Pathology: One Brain Tumor and one Bifurcation.
- Vessels: Brain vessels connected with the neck.
- External: Alignment markings and acoustically correct skin-mimicking material.
