Ideal for demonstrations and Visual identification of needle placement

The Model 071 Image-Guided Abdominal Biopsy Phantom is a simplified abdominal phantom suitable for training and demonstrating image-guided needle biopsy navigation tools or procedures that requires a constant visual reference for needle placement.

The phantom contains eleven randomly positioned lesions, with sizes ranging from 8 to 12 mm. It also includes one 25mm lesion (near the vertebrae), ribs and a simulated spine. The lesions and spine are visible under ultrasound and CT. The solid polymer gel background is anechoic and will not leak when punctured.* US Patent #5196343

* It is important to understand that the Model 071 is a disposable product. Although the material can be punctured to demonstrate image-guided navigation technologies, a needle track may be evident after each puncture. To maximize the use of the phantom, CIRS recommends you use a 20 gauge needle or higher and that you avoid using the same approach for each lesion. Each mass can only withstand core biopsy until the lesion is destroyed.
