Adult Female Heart for X-Ray CT, US, MRI

The female Heart is designed by utilising AI (Artificial Intelligence) software to extract the CT data of a healthy 35-year old female patient. As such, the anatomical details such as size and placement of vessels are highly accurate compared to any other models on the market. Due to it’s elastic nature, the phantom can be connected to a heart pump to simulate lifelike cardiac motions in the heart. The phantom is built from completely synthetic materials which are able to closely mimic the acoustical, physical, and mechanical properties of the real biological tissue.

With such similar properties, the female Heart phantom can be imaged under X-Ray, CT, Ultrasound, and MRI imaging techniques. Using AI and 3D printing technologies, the phantom is built to reflect exact anatomical structures. Due to the modular nature of production, it is also fully customizable and can be modified to suit a wide variety of research and development applications.

This phantom can be utilised to train and research on transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiograms, ultrasound-navigated endoscopies, catheter insertion under ultrasound probes, angiography, and other cardio-based research and development studies. The heart phantom includes a hollow esophageal tube that can be utilized when performing transesophageal echocardiography. A TEE ultrasound probe can be inserted into the esophageal tube to image the heart internally. It can also be used with Barium-Sulphate, Iodine-based, Gadolinium-based, Microbubble, and Iron Oxide-based contrast mediums.

In terms of MRI applications, the female Heart phantom tissues have realistic T2 relaxation time values which makes this product to be best fit for any T2-weighted MRI imaging methods. Very good results can also be achieved with proton-density imaging methods. The phantom can still be imaged with T1-weighted methods, but the T1 values are less realistic, and they are within the range of about 100 ms.

Note: This product comes with a water tank, as shown in the images above. The water tank helps to mount the heart properly and achieve the correct performance of the phantom in terms of the view of internal structures and heart motion.
