Adult Spine for X-Ray CT, MRI
Our Adult Spine phantom consists of 25 individual vertebrae assembled on top of each other and encased in a semi-cylindrical-shaped body-mimicking tissue. It is majorly composed of the following components.
Adult Spine Phantom consists of 25 individual vertebrae assembled on top of each other and encased in a semicylindrical-shaped body-mimicking tissue. The vertebrae have a realistic three-layered structure, and their inner porosity can be adjusted according to the requirement of the particular project. The Phantom is designed based on average human anatomy, and the bones are made out of realistic patented bone material that is suitable for X-Ray/CT, US and MRI. It can be used for medical imaging research and treatment planning of various medical procedures (Upon request, it can be modified for a lumbar or spine lumbar practice phantom with soft tissue-mimicking material surrounding it).
