Training Phantoms for Ultrasound Diagnostics

Abstract

Our team has developed a number of phantoms suitable for advanced training of ultrasound diagnostic doctors, as well as testing their knowledge and skills. Phantoms are made of durable materials and can be considered analogues of foreign commercial models. The materials used allow modeling different levels of echogenicity, rigidity, and they can be given clinically realistic shapes. Our phantoms are applicable for practicing the skills of ultrasound diagnostics in gray scale and elastographic modes, for taking a biopsy sample, as well as for solving research problems.
