TRUE PHANTOM SOLUTIONS INC. 5. Filling the phantom with BMF or water The phantom can be filled with most types of blood-mimicking fluids (BMF) or water with a syringe or a flow pump.

The chosen liquid should be left on the phantom for at least a few hours. If there is no visible effect on the surface of the phantom, it is safe to assume that the phantom is resistant to the tested chemical, and hence it is safe to use it to fill...

You can also completely submerge the phantom in water. ■ For MRI or CT applications, place the pump (if purchased) at a safe distance as there are metal parts inside it. You may need to use the extra tubing provided. ■ The phantom itself is CT/MRI safe and can be scanned safely. ■ The artificial...

TRUE PHANTOM SOLUTIONS INC. The phantom is made of urethane-based material and should be protected from direct exposure to any intense UV light. The experiments conducted on the phantom can be performed in a sunny lab, but leaving the phantom under direct sunlight for weeks or months is not recommended. If the phantom is not in use, we strongly recommend storing it in a dry and dark place or covering it with a plastic sheet/foil. The phantom is water-resistant and can be cleaned after use. It is ideal for cleaning it either with water or with soapy water. It is also quite resistant to chemicals,...
