Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a phantom for simulating the ultrasound guided insertion of a needle in a blood vessel of a human body site. The phantom comprises: a skin mimicking layer (2), formed in a first material; -a tissue mimicking layer (3), formed in a second material and at least one artificial blood vessel (4a, 4b, 4c), formed in a third material, the first, second and third material being arranged to reproduce both the mechanical and the ultrasound properties of the corresponding parts of the human body site. Thanks to the invention, the phantom permits a realistic simulation of a human body site behavior. |
