Adult Knee (Extended) for X-Ray CT, US
The design of this phantom is based on an average human right knee with thigh and calf regions. It is made out of several realistic tissue mimicking materials that are suitable for X-Ray CT and Ultrasound applications.
The Adult Knee (Extended) phantom is compatible with X-Ray CT and Ultrasound applications. This product features the anatomy of a right human knee with the addition of a thigh and calf. The synthetic bones in this phantom are made from our patented material. The soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage are made from realistic urethane-based tissue–mimicking materials.
The phantom can be used to conduct medical imaging research, radiology training, testing, and calibration-related work. This product can be further customized to match various project requirements.
