Abstract
A medical phantom is an object that models at least a part of the human body by using unit blocks, wherein the unit blocks include: a first unit block having a hexahedral shape of which the inside is empty; and a second unit block. The second unit block has a shape, of which the inside is empty, different from the hexahedral shape The second unit block also has ridges formed at the upper end thereof for stud-and-tube coupling, and has furrows formed at the lower end thereof and enabled to be coupled to the ridges.
Claims12
A medical phantom which models at least a part of a human body by using a plurality of unit blocks,
- wherein the plurality of unit blocks include:
- a first unit block having a hexahedral shape of which the inside is empty;
- and a second unit block having a shape, of which the inside is empty, different from the hexahedral shape, having a plurality of ridges formed at the upper end thereof for stud-and-tube coupling, and having a plurality of furrows formed at the lower end thereof and enabled to be coupled to the plurality of ridges, wherein
- the medical phantom is determined according to a combination form of the first unit block and the second unit block, at least one hole is formed on the lateral surfaces of the first unit block and the second unit block and a medium is injected through the at least one hole;
- and
- wherein the media injected through the first hole includes CuSO4, MnCl2, and NiCl2 which are signal sources required for magnetic resonance imaging and Gd-based media, iron oxide-based media, and gel-type media which are capable of exhibiting a contrast effect.
