The Model 052A accurately mimics the ultrasonic characteristics of tissues found in an average human breast. The size and shape of the phantom simulates that of an average patient in the supine position.
A special holding tray facilitates proper hand position during the training procedures.
Protected by a membrane, the phantoms flesh-like consistency, (Zerdine® )(1)simulates needle resistance. Each cystic mass may be aspirated once while each solid mass may be biopsied multiple times. Cyst material is stained green and solid masses are black for easy identification.
The Model 052A Ultrasound Needle Biopsy Phantom was developed by those skilled in the art of ultrasound guided needle biopsy procedures and is the ideal training device
