Newborn Head (Simple)
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.Â
The phantom was developed in collaboration with a group of physician experts from the Sonographic Clinical Assessment of the Newborn (SCAN) Training Program program at the University of Calgary (Department of Pediatrics).
