Adult Spine Phantom consists of 25 individual vertebrae assembled on top of each other and encased in a semi-cylindrical-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 Ultrasound and X-Ray/CT applications. 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).
The phantom can be further customized with water fillable spinal canal inside the vertebrae or with a prefilled spinal canal for medical imaging or research applications.
- Cervical Vertebrae (C1 – C7)
- Thoracic Vertebrae (T1 – T12)
- Lumbar Vertebrae (L1 – L5)
