Being the living body approximate phantom for ultrasonic medical science

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bio-simulated phantom for ultrasonic medical use for extracting the shapes or the position of organs with high precision using an ultrasonic apparatus.;SOLUTION: A body model is produced by molding and insolubilizing gelatin according to the body shape of a human body. Organ models received in the body model are produced by molding and insolubilizing gelatin according to the shapes of the organs of the human body. When the organ models are irradiated with ultrasonic waves via the surface of the body model, the tone of the organ models that appears on an image processing monitor is different from that of the body model. In particular, when preparing the organ models, microparticles or fibers or combination thereof are mixed with gelatin and molded to predetermined shapes. With such a configuration, the tone of the organ models that appears on the image processing monitor can be made different from that of the body model.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
