PULSATING CARDIAC PHATOM ALPHA 1-VTPC is an ideal phantom to quantitatively evaluate cardiac image diagnoses taken by MDCT.
This phantom simulates cardiac motion by a rubber tube into and from which contrast agent or the like is poured or withdrawn by apiston inside the cylinder.
Major features
Simulates well an array of ventricular movements Fast filling, Slow filling, Fast pumping, Slow pumping
Simulates well rapid pulse ventricular movements without slow filling
Variable rubber size (equivalent of ventricle size)
Simulates well changes in ventricular volume by changing stroke length of the piston
Simulates well arrhythmia patterns such as D2.5, D5, D10 and D32
Easy to design various ventricular movements
Various evaluations possible on coronary artery by standard mock coronary phantom
