The newly designed detachable dog phantom is a training simulator independent of external hardware/software. The phantom is compatible with Ultrasound and X-RAY/CT imaging. It has all the right features to be an ideal teaching tool for sonographers, radiographers, veterinary residents, and other vet professionals.
Unlike its predecessor, the new detachable dog phantom has improved anatomical structures and removable body parts (head, limbs, torso, and tail). This improvement is an added advantage as it helps perform various positioning techniques under the US and X-RAY/CT imaging modalities.
This product is available in two versions: Opaque (Speckles) and Translucent Amber (No Speckles).

Product Images (Translucent Amber – No Speckles):
Note: By default, the phantom comes in a translucent amber appearance.
Product Images (Opaque – Speckles):
Note: Upon special request, the opaque version can be provided.
X-Ray Scans:
The above X-RAY images were obtained from a standard phantom of our DG-A01 model. An IMAGE VUE CR 20 X-RAY Scanner was used to scan the phantom. This phantom was scanned and validated by Elyse Morassutti, a registered Veterinary technician from the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society
Ultrasound Scans:
The above results were obtained from a transparent model of DG-A01. All ultrasounds were performed with the GE Logiq e R8 using the standard 8C micro convex and the L12 Linear probes. This allowed us to interrogate and obtain the best-quality images. By having two different ultrasound probes with varying frequencies, we were able to switch our probes throughout the exam while assessing different organs/body parts resulting in obtaining high-quality images. The phantom was scanned and validated by a VET ultrasound specialist from Precious Paws Ultrasound.
