The design of this Newborn Torso phantom is based on an average newborn torso. It is made from realistic tissue-mimicking materials suitable for Ultrasound and X-Ray/CT imaging. The phantom has a water-fillable umbilical cord and bladder, which can be both used for catheterization training under ultrasound guidance.
The phantom was developed in collaboration with a group of physician experts from the Sonographic Clinical Assessment of the Newborn (SCAN) Training Program program at the University of Calgary (Department of Pediatrics).
