Adult Knee for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
The Adult Knee phantom is designed around the structure of an average adult human knee. It comprises of synthetic bones made from patented bone material and urethane-based tissue mimicking materials for soft tissues. Suitable for X-Ray/CT, US, and MRI imaging, it serves medical imaging research, and Orthopedic related studies.
The Adult Knee phantom has a complex internal structure and anatomy, which are based on an average knee of an adult human male. The synthetic bones used in this phantom are made out of our patented material, which is best suited for X-Ray CT and US imaging applications. The soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage are made from realistic urethane-based tissue-mimicking materials.
The phantom can be used as a tool to conduct medical imaging research, radiology training, testing, and calibration-related work. This product can be further customized to match a wide variety of project requirements.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin finish can be included upon request.
