Standard Calvaria for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
The Standard Calvaria phantom is an excellent tool for medical imaging research. The skull bones are made from a realistic patented epoxy-based bone material suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications.
The design of the standard calvaria phantom is based on an average human male skull, and It is developed using our patented ceramic-reinforced epoxy-based composite material suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and CT applications (any other part of the skull can be fabricated based on the customer order).
The phantom has a realistic three-layered structure, and the inner porosity can be adjusted according to the project’s requirements.
There are several applications of this phantom. It is primarily used for medical imaging & diagnostic research, and treatment planning of non-invasive HIFU brain surgeries.
