Ultrasound imaging veterinary test phantom CN-A01

MRICT ScanX-ray

Overview
The Canine Phantom CN-A01 is an anatomical training model designed for practical veterinary imaging and procedural training across X-ray, CT, ultrasound and MRI. Derived from a real CT dataset and refined with AI, it reproduces complex soft-tissue and vascular anatomy with high anatomical fidelity. The model is scaled for handling (16 kg) and features improved articulating joints for realistic positioning practice.

Key enhancements

• Articulating joints: Improved joint mobility to simulate realistic positioning and manipulation for X-ray and procedure practice.
• Durable construction: Materials and assembly designed for repeated use in clinical training environments.
• Advanced vascular detailing: Refined vasculature in liver, spleen and pancreas for accurate organ positioning and imaging realism.
• Realistic heart: Internal chambers, valves and major vessels (IVC, SVC, aorta) included for cardiac imaging scenarios.
• Extended anatomical accuracy: Detailed vasculature and a realistic intestinal tract (small and large intestines, caecum, rectum) to support diagnostic and interventional training.

Imaging & MRI properties

• Supports X-ray positioning, CT, ultrasound (US) and MRI applications.
• MRI tuning: tissues are adjusted to realistic T2 relaxation times, making the phantom well suited for T2-weighted and proton-density imaging. T1-weighted imaging is feasible but T1 values are less realistic (order of magnitude ≈ 100 ms).
• Appearance may vary slightly due to material characteristics and production tolerances.

Technical properties (representative values)

• Organs with speckles (liver, kidneys, etc.): Sound velocity 1435 ± 10 m/s; Density 0.99 g/cm3; Attenuation at 2.25 MHz 1.0 ± 0.2 dB/cm; Hardness Shore OO 20; T2 ≈ 70 ms; Speckles: VARIABLE.
• Organs without speckles (stomach, intestines, etc.): Sound velocity 1400 ± 10 m/s; Density 0.99 g/cm3; Attenuation at 2.25 MHz 1.0 ± 0.2 dB/cm; Hardness Shore OO 20; T2 ≈ 70 ms; Speckles: NO.
• Body tissue: Sound velocity 1410 ± 10 m/s; Density 1.00 g/cm3; Attenuation at 2.25 MHz 1.2 ± 0.2 dB/cm; Hardness Shore OO 30; T2 ≈ 65 ms; Speckles: LOW.
