Adult Skull with Brain for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
The Adult Human Skull with Brain Phantom is a versatile tool ideal for medical research and treatment planning, specifically for non-invasive HIFU brain surgeries and medical imaging studies. Resembling the Head Phantom but without skin-mimicking tissue, this model features a realistic three-layered structure with an inner diploe layer, closely resembling the average human male skull. Crafted from a patented epoxy-based bone material, it ensures compatibility with Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications. Customization options for different parts of the skull are also available upon request.
The phantom incorporates the complete ventricular system, including lateral, third, and fourth ventricles. These inflatable ventricles simulate realistic pressure dynamics within the brain, closely approximating actual cerebral anatomy. The ventricles can be filled with various liquids to achieve desired effects.
For MRI applications, the phantom’s tissues exhibit realistic T2 relaxation time values, making it an excellent fit for T2-weighted MRI imaging techniques. Proton Density imaging methods also yield high-quality outcomes. While T1-weighted techniques are viable, T1 values are less accurate, falling within the approximate range of 100 ms.
Before imaging the phantom, please fill the ventricles with water (or chosen contrast agent) using the tube on the back of the brain. After filling the ventricles, plug the tube with a removable blue silicone plug.
