CT/ ULTRASOUND/ MRI IMAGE FUSION• LIVE SCANNING• BIOPSY TRAINING

The CIRS Triple Modality 3D Abdominal Phantom is constructed of a self-healing formulation of Zerdine ®1 that allows multiple biopsy insertions with minimal needle tracking, and is ideal for demonstrating image-guided navigation technologies.

Abdominal imaging is useful for diagnosing disease and monitoring treatments. Our Model 057A is representative of a small adult abdomen and can be imaged under CT, MR and ultrasound. This feature makes the phantom a useful tool for applications such as image fusion studies; imaging protocol developments; scan technique training; and system testing, validation and demonstration.

The Model 057A simulates the abdomen from approximately the thorax vertebrae (T9/T10) to the lumbar vertebrae (L2/L3) using simplified anthropomorphic geometry. The materials provide contrast between the structures under CT, MR and ultrasound. The solid polymer background gel will not leak when punctured.*

Internal structures include the liver, the portal vein, two partial kidneys, a partial lung, the abdominal aorta, the vena cava, a simulated spine and six ribs. The liver has six lesions and the kidneys each have one lesion. A muscle layer and outside fat layer surround these structures and plastic end caps make the phantom durable enough for extended scanning. Blood vessels have CT contrast added to provide enhanced auto registration in image fusion applications

The Phantom includes a foam lined hard carry case. To accommodate image fusion techniques, the phantom can be purchased as a kit to include a serial-number specific CT DICOM Data set for reference. CIRS can also offer value-added options and services such as phantom specific CMM, attachment of customer specific registration devices and inclusion of special point markers

Features:
  • Demonstrate CT, ultrasound and MRI scan techniques
  • Assess image-fusion algorithms
  • Test new equipment
  • Optimize imaging protocols
  • Improve performance of freehand abdominal biopsies

(1)US Patent #5196343

NOTE: Some permanent tracking may be evident if debris and air bubbles are entrained in the gel during the biopsy procedure. To extend the lifetime of the phantom, the use of higher gauge needles that have been wetted and de-aired prior to insertion is recommended.

Summary: A 3D abdominal organ-mimicking phantom (Model 057; Computerized Imaging Reference Systems, Norfolk, VA) was used for standardization of ultrasonic imaging parameters used to diagnose fatty liver disease. These parameters were based on the hepatic to renal echo intensity level and the degree of signal attenuation between these two sites.

Summary: The 057A was used to compare the accuracy of stereotactic CT-guided navigation to ultrasound-guided navigation when placing RF electrodes in the liver during ablation therapy. While stereotactic CT was found to place needles with greater precision, while the ultrasound guidance was more time efficient.
