Pediatric Full Body for X-Ray CT, US
The Pediatric Full Body Phantom is an X-Ray/CT and Ultrasound-compatible training product used for training patient positioning techniques. It is popular among medical schools and teaching hospitals for training radiology students and medical professionals. This life-size phantom consists of anatomically correct organs and bones divided into 10 body parts.
4-Year-old Pediatric Full Body Phantom is an X-Ray/CT and US-compatible training product. It is primarily used to train various patient positioning techniques. Often purchased by medical schools and teaching hospitals to train their radiology students and other medical professionals.
The design of this phantom is based on the model of a 4-year-old child 40″ (102 cm) in height. This phantom is a life-size, full-body anthropomorphic phantom with organs and bones constituted in 10 body parts. The phantom weighs about 20 kg. Other uses include visual evaluation in finding out optimal scanning conditions. The skeleton is built from individually cast bones from a realistic, patented epoxy-based composite material.
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance. The skin feature can be included upon request.
