Description
Dynamic Newborn Head
Anatomically Correct New Born Head Phantom
The phantom is designed to be suitable for medical imaging of blood flow underneath the skull. The phantom is designed based on an average newborn head and it is made out of realistic soft and hard tissue mimicking materials suitable for Ultrasound, MRI and CT applications.
The phantom consists of the following components:
- Anatomically correct realistic skull
- Skull filled with acoustically correct brain mimicking material
- Complex blood vessel structure with incorporated Circle of Willis
- One bifurcation
- A complex network of small vessels
