Ultrasound Breast Phantom for Medical Training

Our ultrasound breast phantom is designed for realistic sonography and biopsy training, mimicking the acoustic properties of human breast tissue and common lesions such as cysts, fibroadenomas, and cancers. Developed in partnership with The Bulgarian Breast Cancer Association, it supports high-quality, standardized education for radiologists and clinicians.

• Includes common lesions: cysts, fibroadenomas, and tumors (benign & malignant)

• Suitable for ultrasound-guided biopsy training and needle insertion practice

• Durable gel-based construction designed for repeated procedures

• Available in multiple configurations depending on course size & training needs

Realistic ultrasound simulation

The phantom provides tissue-mimicking acoustic properties that closely resemble human breast tissue, enabling trainees to practice probe handling, lesion localization, and depth assessment. Consistent lesion appearance across sessions allows learners to build confidence with reliable, repeatable images.

Safe and Effective Biopsy Training

Designed for ultrasound-guided interventions, the phantom allows trainees to perform needle insertion and targeting exercises without risk to patients. Internal structures respond realistically during biopsy practice, helping learners develop accurate hand–eye coordination and improve procedural proficiency.

Standardized Learning for Groups

Because every phantom contains the same lesion types and image characteristics, training programs can ensure consistent learning outcomes across large groups. This supports objective skills assessment, efficient teaching in workshops or courses, and enables repeated practice in a controlled environment.

Phantoms are an indispensable tool in ultrasound/sonography training as they provide a realistic, safe, and repeatable environment for acquiring essential skills necessary for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
