HIFU Phantom Gel

The complexity of testing HIFU devices in animal tissue is significantly reduced by using our proprietary recording gels. Phantom gels are crystal clear synthetic gels that produce lesions of the same position, size and shape as those produced in real tissue when ultrasonic power is applied to the gel.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Record the progression of the lesion growth to characterize the shape and size
  • Identify defects in HIFU systems such as beam shape variations and alignment problems
  • Enhance operating training by providing real-time visualization feedback
The complexity of testing HIFU devices in animal tissue is significantly reduced by using our proprietary recording gels. Phantom gels are crystal clear synthetic gels that produce lesions of the same position, size and shape as those produced in real tissue when ultrasonic power is applied to the gel. The lesions appear as white three-dimensional solid profiles inside the clear gel and are stable for many weeks. The gels are shipped in clear plastic boxes with lids. The product is stable for several weeks at room temperature, and longer if refrigerated.
  • Density: 1060 kg/m3
  • Phase velocity: 1600 m/s
  • Attenuation Coefficient: 0.6 dB/(cm-MHz)
  • Specific Heat: 3850 J/(kg-°K)
  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.55 W/(m-°K)
  • Optical: Turns permanently opaque when temperature reaches a threshold of 70 °C (this phenomenon results in the formation of tissue-mimicking lesions when the phantom is exposed to high intensity ultrasound)
