Product overview: The canine ultrasound training phantom reproduces detailed skeletal and soft-tissue anatomy derived from a real CT dataset of a two-year-old male Bull Mastiff x Rhodesian Ridgeback (original 37 kg), scaled to approximately 16 kg for handling and training. The model is intended for veterinary sonographers, radiographers, residents and instructors for diagnostic imaging and procedural practice. AI-assisted segmentation was used to ensure anatomical fidelity for both imaging and interventional training.
Key features: - Ultrasoft tissue simulation: Lifelike tactile properties and ultrasound response closely matching in vivo tissue.
- Advanced vascular detailing: Refined vasculature in liver, spleen and pancreas for accurate organ positioning.
- Comprehensive cardiac anatomy: All chambers, valves and major vessels (IVC, SVC, aorta) for cardiac imaging practice.
- Expanded abdominal anatomy: Realistic intestinal tract (small and large intestines, caecum, rectum) and complete abdominal organs.
- Biopsy capability: Designed to permit ultrasound-guided abdominal biopsy procedures.
- Durable for repeated training: Materials selected for repeated clinical use without rapid degradation.
Materials: - Soft tissues and organs: urethane-based soft resin formulated for ultrasound realism
- Synthetic bones: ceramic-reinforced epoxy composite for structural accuracy
Supplied with: - Detailed user manual with imaging protocols
- Protective carry case for transport and storage
