Breast Biopsy Phantom​s

The Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Phantom and Ultrasound Breast Biopsy Phantom are no longer being manufactured or sold by Sun Nuclear. We are pleased to offer the following suitable alternatives from CIRS, as well as a new solution for training across multiple modalities.

Stereotactic Needle Biopsy Phantom (CIRS Model 013)
For use in localization accuracy test per American College of Radiology’s stereotactic breast biopsy accreditation program
For use upon system installation or repair, to ensure accurate needle placement
Anthropomorphic shape allows accurate simulation of breast compression
Re-usable
Will not dry out, or leak when punctured
Masses can be biopsied multiple times
11 dense masses in three sizes; Two microcalcification clusters
Compatible with standalone and add-on stereotactic biopsy systems

Ultrasound Needle Breast Biopsy Phantom with Amorphous Lesions (CIRS Model 52A)
Non-spherical shape of embedded targets enable practice with 2D, 3D and 4D image acquisition
Improve hand-eye coordination
Build confidence and reduce patient anxiety
Test new equipment, new techniques
Accurately mimics ultrasonic characteristics of tissues found in average human breast
Size and shape of simulates average patient in the supine position
Six cystic masses and six dense masses, randomly positioned
Contains cysts which can be aspirated, solids which can be biopsied

Multi-Modality Breast Biopsy and Sonographic Trainer (CIRS Model 73) Designed to train users in various aspects of breast imaging and image-guided interventional procedures – X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI
Mimics heterogeneous appearance of breast tissue
Includes cystic and dense lesions embedded within breast background.
Half of dense lesions are spherical with an embedded 100-300 micron microcalcification, half have a spiculated shape
Calcifications serve as useful markers for image registration between modalities
Features patent-pending Z-SkinTM membrane to simulate skin, providing protection from desiccation even after multiple sessions
