This article presents the development of an anatomical phantom designed for ultrasound simulation of lymphoid structures, with the aim of evaluating its functionality as a visualization tool in medical imaging. The model was built at full scale based on a 3D scan of a subject, using FDM and SLA printing technologies for the fabrication of the external shell and internal organs. Materials with acoustic properties compatible with human tissues were selected, including Clear Resin V4, PLA, and agar-agar, whose combination enabled adequate structural differentiation in the obtained images. The tests were performed using a veterinary ultrasound device, successfully visualizing the spleen and thymus within the model. The phantom demonstrated stable and reproducible behavior, offering a compelling combination of accessibility and functionality.

摘要

This article presents the development of an anatomical phantom designed for ultrasound simulation of lymphoid structures, with the aim of evaluating its functionality as a visualization tool in medical imaging. The model was built at full scale based on a 3D scan of a subject, using FDM and SLA printing technologies for the fabrication of the external shell and internal organs. Materials with acoustic properties compatible with human tissues were selected, including Clear Resin V4, PLA, and agar-agar, whose combination enabled adequate structural differentiation in the obtained images. The tests were performed using a veterinary ultrasound device, successfully visualizing the spleen and thymus within the model. The phantom demonstrated stable and reproducible behavior, offering a compelling combination of accessibility and functionality.
