Newborn Skull for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
The Newborn Skull Phantom serves for medical imaging research and treatment planning of non-invasive HIFU brain surgeries. It replicates an average newborn skull using a realistic patented epoxy-based bone material suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT.
The Newborn Skull is a multipurpose phantom medical imaging research & treatment planning of non–invasive HIFU brain surgeries. True Phantom Solutions are pioneers in developing these phantoms and hold strength in customizing them to suit the needs of researchers and medical practitioners.
The design of this phantom is based on an average newborn skull, and it is made out of realistic patented epoxy-based bone material suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications (any other part of the skull can be fabricated based on the customer order).
