DEFORMABLE PHANTOM APPARATUS

摘要

A deformable phantom apparatus for simulating motion of a patient's anatomy in 3D during breathing, the apparatus comprising a chamber fillable with a first fluid, a deformable member comprising tissue equivalent material of the anatomy being simulated, the deformable member being positionable within the chamber in the first flu id and having an open end in fluid communication with a second fluid outside the chamber i n use; and a mechanism for causing the second fluid to flow through the open end to defor m the deformable member between a normal state and a deformed state to simulate motion during breathing.
