Phantoms and Prototyping
Phantoms
Our facilities include both manufactured and purchased phantoms including:
- unique beating heart phantom (proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx)
- skull covered brain phantom
- mixed reality neurosurgery phantom
- z-bar ultrasound calibration phantom
carotid artery and jugular vein phantom for central-line procedures- spine phantom for spinal
duratomy procedures and epidural injection procedures - more...
Rapid Prototyping
The Peters lab has completely adopted 3D printing of plastic and metal as a method of decreasing the time required to iterate phantom and accessory design. Plastic printing includes an Objet30 Pro
