The Adult Head (Dynamic, Advanced) phantom is visible on Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT scans. It features an anatomically shaped brain made of a soft polyurethane-based material. The skull bone has a realistic three-layered structure. The phantom is suitable for T2-weighted MRI imaging and can also be imaged with Proton Density methods. It includes realistic blood vessels and an inflatable ventricular system that can be filled with liquid.

The Adult Head (Dynamic, Advanced) phantom is visible on Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT scans. The phantom can also be used for specific applications such as angiography. The brain parenchyma is made of an ultra-soft polyurethane-based material that mimics soft tissue, and its anatomical shape was created based on the MRI scan of a human brain. The materials used to build the phantom are stable over time, and they do not dry out. The skull bone has a realistic three-layered structure with an inner diploe layer. This phantom can be used with Barium-sulfate, Iodine-based, Gadolinium-based, Microbubble, and Iron Oxide-based contrast mediums.

In terms of MRI applications, the phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values, which makes this product to be the best fit for any T2-weighted MRI imaging methods. Very good results can also be achieved with Proton Density imaging methods. The phantom can be still imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.

The phantom comprises realistic blood vessels which can be filled with any commonly used blood-mimicking fluid with or without a contrast agent. It also comprises the entire ventricular system (lateral, third, and fourth ventricles), which can be used to generate pressure inside the brain and more closely approximate real cerebral anatomy. The ventricles are inflatable and can be filled with any liquid.

Prior to imaging the phantom, please fill the ventricles completely with water (or chosen contrast agent) using the tube on the back of the brain. After the ventricles are filled, plug the tube with a removable blue silicone plug.

Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. A skin feature can be included upon request.

*/ Small variations in appearance may be present due to material characteristics and routine production tolerances. /*

Inner Diameter of Vessels: Blue – 2 mm | Green – 3 mm | Red – 4 mm

Inner Diameter of Ventricles: 9.5 mm | Outer Diameter of Ventricles: 15.1 mm – The tube attached to the ventricles is ~50mm long.

Note: The phantom that was used in these CT scans was slightly customized with the addition of white matter, falx cerebri, and a tumor. These features are not included by default but can be added upon request. Scans were taken and provided by Mayo Clinic. 

The above DSA images were obtained with the help of our partners at MedicalQC and showcases the inner vessels being filled with a contrast agent.
