NEW! Inclusive skin tones, from light to dark complexion, available at no additional cost
Radiation equivalent and anatomically correct
Extensive vascular detail
Different degrees of vascular contrast available
Interchangeable normal and pathological lungs

Developed in conjunction with the University of California, Irvine’s Department of Radiological Sciences, RSD’s Lung & Chest Phantom is specialized at providing a high degree of realism in chest radiography. Extending from the neck to below the diaphragm, the phantom is molded about a male skeleton, corresponding to the external body size of a patient, 5’ 9’ (175 cm) tall, weighing 162 lbs (73.5 kg).

RSD materials are equivalent to natural bone and soft tissues. Animal lungs are selected to match the size of an adult male. Lungs are fixed in the inflated state and are molded to conform to the pleural cavities of the phantom. The pulmonary arteries are injected with a blood equivalent plastic. The Lung & Chest Phantom with simulated left coronary artery reveals several areas of coronary artery irregularity and narrowing.
