Rat Phantom (Cylindrical) for X-Ray CT, US
Rat Phantom (Cylindrical) can be fabricated as a simple cylinder or as an anatomically correct rat. Either of these phantoms is a powerful tool that can be used for testing and calibration-related work of various medical imaging devices.
Rat Phantom (cylindrical version) is a well-suited tool specifically designed for R&D applications. The precise cylindrical shape, good stability over a long period of time, and high durability of the phantom allow for testing and calibration-related work of various medical imaging devices.
The cylindrical version has a 27 mm diameter and 70 mm height, which correspond to the dimensions of small animals (i.e. a laboratory mouse.)
The small phantom is Ultrasound and CT-compatible, and it can be customized in size and shape. The internal features can also be modified in terms of shape and properties to fit the needs of any particular bio-medical research project
