Description
Adult Full Body Phantom (with Muscles) for X-Ray CT, MRI
The Adult Full Body Phantom with Muscles is an X-Ray/CT and MRI-compatible training product. The primary application of this phantom is to train and demonstrate various patient positioning techniques in radiology. Other uses include hands-on experience with diagnostic imaging techniques and visual evaluation to find optimal scanning conditions.
In terms of MRI applications, the phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values, which makes this product the best fit for any T2-weighted MRI imaging methods. Very good results can also be achieved with Proton Density imaging methods. The phantom can be still imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.
The model of this phantom is based on an adult male body that weighs about 70 kg (154 lb) and measures 175 cm (69 in) in height.
The skeleton is built from individually cast bones with a realistic three-layered structure with inner porosity. The properties and structures of the bones can be adjusted according to the requirement of the particular project. Upon request, the phantom is customizable with different pathologies such as lesions, tumors, infections, and abnormalities. This positioning phantom can be ordered in a translucent or skin-colored version.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin feature can be included upon request.
