Adult Torso (Skin) for X-Ray CT, US is designed based on an average anatomy of an adult healthy human male. It is compatible with X-Ray/CT and Ultrasound. The skeleton is made from individually cast bones from a realistic patented epoxy-based composite material with vertebrae that have a realistic three-layered structure with inner porosity.
The phantom can be customized with any pathologies for learning the techniques of FAST (focused assessment with sonography for trauma), FAMUS (Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound), and any other procedural training (Pericardial effusion, etc.).
This product is a skin version of the US-A02 model. An ideal phantom for training ultrasound technicians and other medical students.
A clinical study involving the use of proton therapy was done using a customized version of our torso phantom, including additional tumors and a hollow fillable rectum. You can find that study here: Wang, S., Gonzalez, G., Sun, L. et al.
