NEW! Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones
WHOLE BODY ANTHROPOMORPHIC PHANTOM WITH REAL HUMAN BONES
- Authentic human bone anatomy for unparalleled radiographic detail
- Repeatable hands-on training with the ability to disassemble into nine parts
- True-to-life radiodensity for realistic imaging performance across modalities
- Durable soft-tissue simulation based on RSD’s proven formulations
- Customization options for end-users, including fill ports, organs, pathologies, and traumas
The iconic RSD Take-Apart Pixy phantom is now offered with authentic human bones, delivering the highest level of skeletal realism ever available in a modular, full-body training phantom. This configuration is designed for programs and laboratories that require genuine bone detail, radiographic accuracy, and repeatable hands-on instruction across diagnostic imaging modalities.
Built on RSD’s proven soft-tissue formulations and meticulously engineered internal structures, Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones provides exceptional value for educators, technologists, physicists, and researchers seeking a lifelike, disassemblable phantom for positioning, technique training, QC, and imaging protocol development.
Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones is an anatomically and radiologically correct female designed specifically for training radiologic technologists. At 5’ 1” (156 cm) weighing 105 lbs (48 kg), Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones is a repeatable, convenient substitute for patients and virtually indestructible.
Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones may be ordered with or without abdominal and pelvic organs: stomach, gall bladder, urinary bladder, kidneys, rectum, and sigmoid flexure. The organs are air-filled but accept water or contrast media that can be easily flushed after use. Custom pathologies and traumas are available at an additional cost.
Built with soft-tissue molds and skeleton molds that are matched for anatomic fidelity, Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones permits unlimited exposures, demonstrates the effects of changing technical factors, and allows for the evaluation of student performance. Students have no difficulty in maneuvering Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones into the most desired positions, as the phantom is built to tolerate trainee errors.
Take-Apart Pixy lungs are molded of tissue-equivalent foam with the mass density of inflated human lungs (0.30 g/cc). They are connected to the oro-nasal cavity by the stem bronchi and trachea. The oro-nasal pharynx is filled with a nearly air-equivalent foam.
Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones is used to demonstrate anatomy and evaluate positioning and imaging techniques, including kVp, mAs, contrast, optical density, digital processing, OFD, and TFD. Made of tissue-equivalent materials and life-like articulations, Take-Apart Pixy with Real Human Bones provides the closest approximation to human anatomy available in an anthropomorphic phantom. When accuracy, realism, and reproducibility matter, real skeletal structures offer the clarity, contrast, and fine-detail needed for advanced learning, research, and QC.
Trusted by institutions worldwide, Pixy continues to set the standard for quality, durability, and anatomical fidelity. With the addition of real bone options, educators and researchers can now access RSD’s most realistic diagnostic imaging phantom to date.
