Tissue Equivalent Ultrasound Prostate Phantom is disposable and was developed for practicing procedures that involve scanning the prostate with a rectal probe. The prostate, along with structures simulating the rectal wall, seminal vesicles, and urethra, is contained within an 11.5-cm x 7.0-cm x 9.5-cm clear, acrylic container. A 3-mm simulated perineal membrane enables various probes and surgical tools to be inserted into the prostate. This phantom is an ideal training device for ultrasound-guided cryosurgery, radioactive seed implantation, and needle biopsy. Constructed of clear acrylic. 11.5-cm x 7.0-cm x 9.5-cm. Front probe opening is 3.2-cm diameter. Rear probe opening is 2.6-cm diameter.
Specifications: Perineal Membrane: 4.5-cm diameter x 3-mm thick urethane • Background Gel: Similar to water with very little back-scatter attenuation: <0.07 dB/cm/MHz • Urethra: 0.7-cm diameter, Zerdine® (low scatter) • Seminal Vesicles:
7-mm diameter x 10 cm L, Zerdine® Speed = 1540 m/s, Attenuation= 0.5 dB/cm/MHz, Backscatter similar to liver tissue • Prostate: 5-cm x 4.5-cm x 4.0-cm, Blue Zerdine® (high scatter), Volume: approximately 53 cc • Rectal Wall: 6-cm x 11-cm x 0.5-cm, Zerdine® Speed = 1540 m/s, Attenuation= 0.5 dB/cm/MHz, Backscatter similar to liver tissue
