The Newborn Head (Complex) Phantom is a training tool for diagnostic medical imaging and POCUS. Based on an average newborn head, it is made from realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
Newborn Head (Complex) Phantom for diagnostic medical imaging training and POCUS. The phantom is designed based on an average newborn head and is made out of realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for X-Ray CT, US, MRI.
The phantom was developed in collaboration with a group of physician experts from the Sonographic Clinical Assessment of the Newborn (SCAN) Training Program program at the University of Calgary (Department of Pediatrics).
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin feature can be included upon request.
