Multipurpose Chest Phatom
Applicable for both plain radiography and CT scanning. Wide variety of uses in interpretation training, anatomical education, evaluation and assessment of devices and other research.

Accurate anatomy and high quality substitute materials
The phantom is an accurate life-size anatomical model of a human torso.
The thickness of the chest wall is based on measurement of clinical data.
The soft tissue substitute material and synthetic bones have x-ray absorption rates very close to those of human tissues.

X-ray
The phantom provides life-like radiographs very close to actual clinical images. The three-dimensional structure allows both PA and LATERAL images to be obtained. The phantom bones and vessels show life-like contrast gradations on the image along with tube voltages.

Computed tomography
Arms-abducted position of the torso suits the CT scanning. The pulmonary vessels are spatially traceable. Assessment of computer-aided detection systems is possible.

Further applications

Chest Plate

• Optional chest plates to simulate a larger body type and X-ray absorption.
• Differences in X-ray absorption depending on body volume can be observed.
• Using 60mm thick plates, 30mm is added to the front and to the back of the N1 chest.

Components for Radioisotope

• Image fusion experiment with CT & RI can be performed.

Features
1. Both transvaginal and transabdominal scanning are possible.
2. Three types of interchangeable phantom inserts with different pathologies
3. Realistic view of female external genital
4. Excellent ultrasound image quality

The pelvic phantom is unique in that it allows for transabdominal and transvaginal scanning. Though transvaginal scanning is the gold standard for gyn and 1st trimester pregnancy, it is still important to recognize the anatomy from the transabdominal aspect, as patients may present with anatomy and /or pathology that is outside the transvaginal field of view. The transabdominal technique is still a valuable part of assessing the female pelvis. This phantom also provides imaging of normal and abnormal anatomy so that normal protocol can be practiced while still learning to recognize life threatening pathology, such as an ectopic pregnancy. Other pathology such as endometrial cancer and ovarian cysts can also be identified. In a learning environment, this phantom provides a balance of normal and abnormal that will assist in developing the critical thinking skills necessary to successfully evaluate the female pelvis.
