NEW! Head Phantom with Cadaver Bones
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AID WITH CADAVER BONE CONSTRUCTION FOR RADIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGISTS
Train with confidence using RSD’s Head Phantom, purpose-built to deliver realistic, clinically relevant practice for radiological technologists at every level. Combining the acclaimed anatomy and radiological fidelity of RSD’s Take-Apart Pixy, this phantom represents an average adult male – 5’9″ (175 cm), 162 lbs (74 kg) – giving learners a true-to-life training experience. Built for flexibility. Designed for real-world training.
Choose the configuration that fits your program’s needs:
- Opaque or transparent construction
- With or without cervical spine
- Multiple skin tones for inclusive, representative training
The Head Phantom is rugged, shatter-proof, and easy to transport, so it holds up in busy lab environments and travels wherever your training takes you. A step beyond geometric phantoms.
RSD Body Sections aren’t a replacement for simple geometric phantoms used to evaluate individual imaging system characteristics. They go further, providing comprehensive, realistic assessment of both imaging systems and imaging techniques under true-to-life conditions. Because great radiological technologists train on the real thing.
Advantages of Cadaver Bones
Synthetic bone substitutes may introduce known discrepancies in Hounsfield unit values, beam attenuation, and scatter characteristics. For institutions performing high-precision treatments, these gaps matter.
Real cadaver bone provides the structural heterogeneity, density gradients, and material properties found in your actual patients. The result: phantom-based QA that more faithfully mirrors clinical conditions, giving your team greater confidence in treatment plan verification and imaging system performance.
