Blue Phantom thyroid ultrasound fine needle biopsy training model allows users to develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for imaging and guiding thyroid fine needle biopsy procedures. Using Blue Phantom simulated human tissue, this very realistic and ultra-durable thyroid biopsy ultrasound training model is excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided fine needle biopsies of the thyroid gland. These ultrasound imaging skills include; using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of thyroid and surrounding structural anatomy, identification of a variety of masses present in the thyroid gland, using ultrasound system calculation packages, and using ultrasound to target the lesions for fine needle biopsies.

While you are able to perform core biopsies and actually remove tissue from the tumors in the model, do this knowing that each mass can only withstand core biopsy until the lesion is destroyed which will require that you then move on to another mass located in the training model.

This thyroid ultrasound trainer will perform well using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate transducer (recommended ultrasound transducer; high frequency linear array ultrasound probe 7.5–15 MHz). Our uncompromising quality allows clinicians to utilize the model and repeatedly practice the procedure without the high costs of replacing disposable parts. This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including thyroid surgery, surgical training programs, endocrinology training programs, radiology training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centers, surgical skills centers, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations.
