Product catalog summary
Description
The Adult Head (Standard) phantom is designed to mimic an average human male head for use in Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications. It features realistic tissue-mimicking materials, including a polyurethane-based brain parenchyma and a three-layered skull structure. The phantom is optimized for T2-weighted MRI imaging but can also be used with T1-weighted methods, albeit with less realistic T1 values. It includes an inflatable ventricular system for simulating cerebral anatomy.

Anatomy
The phantom includes detailed anatomical features such as the skull, grey matter, brain ventricles, a brain tumor, falx cerebri, brain vessels, and acoustically correct skin-mimicking material.

Design
The phantom is designed with multiple views for comprehensive imaging and includes alignment markings for accurate positioning.

Filling the Ventricles
Instructions are provided for filling the ventricles with liquid to simulate realistic brain pressure. This involves a cycle of filling, sealing, repositioning, and checking water levels to ensure all air is expelled.

Special Instructions
The phantom can be scanned in various positions and directions. For ultrasound, it can be used with gel or in a water tank. For MRI, artificial blood vessels can be filled with contrast agents. Testing is recommended for blood-mimicking fluids to ensure compatibility.

Technical Properties
The document provides detailed technical specifications, including sound velocity, density, hardness, T2 values, and attenuation for different tissue types. Thermal properties of bone-mimicking tissue are also listed.

Materials Used
The phantom is constructed from urethane-based soft resin for soft tissues and a ceramic-reinforced epoxy composite for synthetic bones.

Size and Weight
The phantom measures 12 x 9 x 7 inches and weighs approximately 17 lbs. The shipment size is 23 x 14 x 10 inches, weighing 22 lbs.

Included In Order
The package includes the Adult Head Phantom, a user manual, a 2-year warranty, unlimited customer service, and a hard carry case.

Storage and Handling
The phantom should be protected from intense UV light and stored in a dry, dark place when not in use.

Cleaning
The phantom is water-resistant and can be cleaned with water or soapy water. It is resistant to many chemicals, but testing is advised for stronger solvents.

TRUE PHANTOM SOLUTIONS INC. Description Adult Head (Standard) phantom is designed based on an average human male head and is made of realistic tissue mimicking materials suitable for Ultrasound, MRI, and X-Ray/CT applications. The brain parenchyma inside of the skull phantom is made of an ultra-soft polyurethane-based material that mimics soft tissue, and its anatomical shape was created based on the optical scan of an average human brain model used in the anatomy class for medical students. The materials used to build the phantom are stable over time, and they do not dry out. The skull bone...

TRUE PHANTOM SOLUTIONS INC. HD-A03 | User Manual Step-by-Step Instructions A. Begin filling slowly. - Using a syringe or a very low water flow, gently pour water into the ventricle opening until it reaches the top. B. Seal and reposition the head. - Once the ventricle appears full, insert the plug into the opening. Carefully flip the head upside down, then tilt it left and right several times. This motion helps trapped air rise toward the opening. C. Unplug and check the water level. - Remove the plug. You will notice that the water level has dropped; this is normal and indicates that air has...
