This Cylindrical Skull Phantom is an ideal tool for medical imaging research. True Phantom Solutions is a pioneer in developing these phantoms and holds the strength to customize them.
The Skull is cast out of our realistic patented epoxy-based bone material that is suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications. The phantom has a realistic three-layered structure with an inner porosity (diploe) that can be adjusted according to the project’s requirements. The phantom realistically mimics the properties of a real human skull.
For MRI applications, the phantom’s tissues exhibit realistic T2 relaxation time values, making it an excellent fit for T2-weighted MRI imaging techniques. Proton Density imaging methods also yield high-quality outcomes. While T1-weighted techniques are viable, T1 values are less accurate, falling within the approximate range of 100 ms.
