Canine Phantom for X-Ray CT, US, MRI

Engineered to meet the advancing demands of veterinary education, research, and clinical practice, the latest Canine Phantom sets a new benchmark in anatomical realism and training versatility. Developed in collaboration with leading veterinary institutions across Canada, the USA, the UK, and Australia, this upgraded model builds on the success of its predecessor with significant enhancements driven by global expert feedback.

Derived from a real CT dataset of a two-year-old male Bull Mastiff x Rhodesian Ridgeback weighing 37 kg, the phantom features both skeletal and soft tissue structures. For handling purposes, the model was scaled down to 16 kg. Cutting-edge AI algorithms were employed to extract and replicate anatomical details with remarkable precision, resulting in a model that delivers exceptional fidelity for both diagnostic and procedural training.

These upgrades reflect a major leap forward in both anatomical precision and educational value, ensuring the phantom meets expectations for realism and functionality.

Ideal for use in academic institutions and clinical training settings, this model supports a broad spectrum of applications, from ultrasound imaging to X-ray positioning. With its robust design, responsive materials, and high anatomical accuracy, the Canine Phantom is an indispensable tool for preparing the next generation of veterinary professionals.

In terms of MRI applications, the phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values, which makes this product 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 still be imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.
