Cylindrical Head for X-Ray CT, US, MRI
This Cylindrical Head Phantom is an ideal tool for medical imaging research. Main applications of this phantom is computed tomography and ultrasound tomography. Our patented bone-mimicking tissue allows it to accurately replicate the properties of real human bone and our realistic brain tissue replicates real human brain. It is compatible with X-Ray CT, US, and MRI applications.
