The Adult Heart Phantom is a realistic simulator of a healthy-adult human heart. The phantom is compatible with X-Ray/CT, Ultrasound, and MRI. This product has a wide range of applications as it also has the potential to support beating functionality and generate life-like motions. Some of its uses and applications include transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiograms, ultrasound-navigated endoscopies, catheter insertion under ultrasound probes, angiography, and other cardio-based research and development studies. The heart phantom includes a hollow esophageal tube that can be utilized when performing transesophageal echocardiography. A TEE ultrasound probe can be inserted into the esophageal tube to image the heart internally.
This phantom can be used with Barium-sulfate, Iodine-based, Gadolinium-based, Microbubble, and Iron Oxide-based contrast mediums.
The phantom is built from a realistic, life-like, synthetic material to mimic the acoustical, physical, and mechanical properties of real biological tissues. Using 3D printing technology and synthetic material, the heart phantom is built to reflect exact anatomical structures. The phantom is fully customizable and able to suit a wide variety of bio-medical projects.
In terms of MRI applications, the phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values which makes this product to be best fit for any T2-weighted MRI imaging methods. Very good results can also be achieved with proton-density imaging methods. The phantom can still be imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.
Upon special request, the geometry and dimensions of the phantom and its properties can be customized based on the requirements of any particular project.
Note: This product comes with a water tank, as shown in the images above. The water tank helps researchers to mount the heart properly and achieve the correct performance of the phantom in terms of the view of internal structures and heart motion.
