A unique, life size whole body phantom for CT provides a variety of educational application as well as visual evaluation in finding out optimal scanning conditions.
The phantom can also be used for plain X-ray, showing life-like images.
No metal parts or liquid structure are used.
Main joints have close-to human articulation, allowing various positioning for training. The phantom can be disassembled into 10 parts. Improved shoulder joint system enables PBU-60 to take arm-up position. Organs are anatomically correct and have appropriate HU numbers.
