We have taken this anatomically labeled head from a pixel model to a mesh model and created a phantom with 2 fluid compartments; 1) brain, and 2) other soft tissues (see figure below). The idea is that materials that are electrically similar are grouped together. Thus bone and air (both low epsilon, low conductivity) are done in plastic (also low e, low conductivity), and the tissue compartments can be filled with appropriate fluids. Also shown on the figure below is a CT scan of the phantom and an MRI of the filled phantom.

Phantom description

This phantom is based on a 1mm isotropic segmented head model which was labeled as described in Makris et al.

The segmented head data was converted into a simplified surface model with two compartments: Brain and other soft tissues. Bone and air (both low epsilon, low conductivity) are printed together out of plastic material with similar electrical properties.

Special considerations

The sealing flange uses an o-ring.
