Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Anatomically accurate brain phantoms are physical models of brains which mimic the viscoelastic properties of brain tissues. The material used to represent different layers of the brain may be a composition of a hydrogel solution and a cross-linking agent, with ratios calculated and determined to accurately reflect the brain's mechanical properties, most notably, the viscoelasticity. Embedded sensors (e.g., accelerometers) measure impact forces and shear stresses/strains caused by a concussion-related experimental impact to the phantom. Uses of the hydrogel brain phantom include biomedical research and as a planning tool for medical treatments. A specific subject's brain may be replicated for designing personalized treatment.
