Breast Elastography Phantom Model 059 ZERDINE® Inside A registered trademark of CIRS THE PERFECT DEMONSTRATION TOOL FOR SONOELASTOGRAPHY The Model 059 accurately mimics the ultrasonic characteristics of tissues found in an average human breast. The size and shape of the phantom simulates that of an average patient in the supine position. A special holding tray facilitates proper hand position during the training procedures. Protected by a membrane, the phantom’s Zerdine® (1) fleshlike consistency simulates needle resistance. • Improve hand-eye coordination • Experiment with new techniques • Instruct others • Contains solid lesions which can be biopsied The phantom contains several solid masses that appear slightly hypoechoic to the simulated breast tissue under normal ultrasound, but the lesions are at least two times stiffer than the background so they can be detected on elastograms. Lesions range in size from 3 to 10 mm in diameter, are randomly positioned throughout the background, and can be biopsied 3 times.* 2428 Almeda Avenue Suite 316 • Norfolk, Virginia 23513 • USA Tel: 800.617.1177 • 757.855.2765 • Fax: 757.857.0523 WWW.CIRSINC.COM Tissue Simulation &

BREAST ELASTOGRAPHY PHANTOM Normal Ultrasound Image SPECIFICATIONS MODEL 059 INCLUDES 22.9 cm x 20.3 cm x 7.6 cm COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Breast Elastography Phantom PHANTOM WEIGHT: Carry Case User Guide Dense Masses * It is important to understand that the Model 059 is a disposable product. Although the material can be punctured to demonstrate biopsy techniques, each mass can only withstand core biopsy until the lesion is destroyed. The elasticity of each dense mass is at least two times greater than the elasticity of the background, which has an elastic modulus of 20kPa ± 5 kPa. 2013...
