Description
Static Adult Human Head Phantom is designed to be suitable for medical imaging of foreign static objects such as small bone pieces, shrapnel, bullets and any other metal or non-metal targets. The phantom is designed based on an average anatomy of a human male 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 following components:
- Anatomically correct realistic skull
- Realistic brain phantom
- Set of small static objects (bone and metal pieces with the following diameters: 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm)
