The design of this phantom is based on an average human male head and it is made out of several realistic tissue-mimicking materials that are suitable for Ultrasound, X-Ray CT, and MRI applications.
This phantom consists of the following components:
- Anatomically correct realistic skull with temporal and suboccipital windows for transcranial Doppler ultrasound
- Openable and removable Calvaria
- Geometry and dimensions of an average brain
- Complex brain vessels incorporated Circle of Willis
- Brain ventricles (water fillable brain cavities to mimic change of pressure inside of the brain)
- Acoustically correct skin-mimicking material implemented to the skull (the phantom has an appearance of an actual human head)
