OverviewThe pediatric full-body anthropomorphic phantom is an X‑Ray/CT and MRI‑compatible training and evaluation tool for clinical staff and imaging technicians. Based on a 4‑year‑old child model (40" / 102 cm), the life‑size phantom provides anatomically realistic organs and bones divided into 10 modular body parts for positioning practice and image quality assessment.
Key MRI and imaging propertiesTissue materials exhibit realistic T2 relaxation values suitable for T2‑weighted MRI protocols; proton‑density imaging also yields very good results. T1‑weighted contrast is achievable though T1 values are approximately ~100 ms and less realistic. Skeletal structures are individually cast from a patented epoxy‑based, ceramic‑reinforced composite.
Design & physical descriptionLife‑size pediatric full‑body phantom modeled on a 4‑year‑old child. Height: 40" (102 cm). Approximate weight: 20 kg. Anatomy is segmented into 10 detachable parts. Default finish: translucent amber; skin‑colored finish available on request. Minor appearance variations may occur due to material properties and manufacturing tolerances.

NotesStandard phantoms are coated with a protective urethane rubber layer to improve appearance and scratch resistance; the coating increases apparent hardness (~+30 Shore OO vs. uncoated). Small variations in appearance may occur due to material characteristics and production tolerances.
