The Newborn Head (Simple) phantom is designed based on an average newborn head and is made out of realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for X-Ray CT, US, MRI.
- The phantom is designed based on an average newborn head and is made out of realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for Ultrasound imaging. The brain in this model has been specifically simplified to achieve the most cost-efficient training solution. This phantom can be used with Barium-sulfate, Iodine-based, and Microbubble contrast mediums.
- The phantom was developed in collaboration with a group of physician experts from the Sonographic Clinical Assessment of the Newborn (SCAN) Training Program at the University of Calgary (Department of Pediatrics).
Anatomy:
- Newborn Brain
- Corpus Callosum
- Brain Ventricles
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin feature can be included upon request.
