Yezitronix Group Inc. designs and manufactures tissue-mimicking multimodality medical ultrasound, MRI, CT and Elastrography phantoms. Each phantom replicates the relevant anatomy, approximate mechanical properties and imaging characteristics of human tissues and organs. They are made for simulation, training, research, calibration and medical-device testing.
Our Yezitronix medical phantom is designed to replicate the characteristics that matter for your procedure: the 3D shape and size of the anatomy, approximate mechanical properties, ultrasound echogenicity and, where needed, embedded targets. The aim is an image and needle feel that closely mimic the clinical task you are practising.
Multi-layer tissue-mimicking material. Each tissue or organ is a separate component with its own properties. Embedded lesions and cysts can be targeted during biopsy or fine needle aspiration (FNA) practice, giving trainees realistic targets to find and sample.
Anatomical 3D morphology. Organs are shaped and sized to approximate average human anatomy. Trainees learn orientation and landmarks they will meet in the clinic.
Approximate mechanical properties. The material gives realistic resistance as a needle passes through tissue layers. This haptic feedback supports needle-guidance training and device testing.
Consistent, repeatable construction. Phantoms are built to a defined design, so you can compare results between sessions, operators or prototypes. Our phantoms can be reusable for years.

A multi-purpose phantom may supports several teams in one organization.
Clinical education and simulation. Residency programs, sonography instructors, nursing educators and simulation centres use phantoms to teach scanning technique, anatomy recognition and ultrasound-guided needle procedures before learners work with patients.
Imaging research. Medical physicists and imaging researchers use phantoms as known test objects to develop and evaluate imaging methods. Published reviews note that tissue-mimicking phantoms are used to calibrate systems, assess image quality and train operators.
Medical-device development. Device engineers and product managers use phantoms to test probes, guidance systems, needles and software under controlled, repeatable conditions. They also use them to demonstrate products to clinical customers.
Yezitronix is a specialist partner for medical phantoms used in simulation and training. You work directly with the team that designs and builds your phantom, from the first specification discussion through delivery and follow-up questions.
Phantom design expertise. Our team focuses on tissue-mimicking phantom design for ultrasound, elastography, MRI and CT. We continue to develop new anatomical models and materials as imaging methods and training needs change.
Designs tailored to your application. Every training program, research protocol and device test has different requirements. We work closely with you to understand your procedure, imaging system and goals, then recommend a standard, semi-custom or custom design.
Quality assurance on every phantom. Each phantom goes through our quality assurance process before it ships, so you receive a consistent product that matches its design.
Direct, responsive communication. We keep you informed on design, production and delivery, and we follow up after the phantom arrives.
Cost-effective solutions. Semi-custom designs adapt an existing model rather than starting from scratch, which helps control cost. A multimodality phantom can also replace separate test objects for ultrasound phantom, MRI phantom, CT phantom and Elastrography phantom.
Designed and made in Canada, supplied worldwide. Our phantoms are designed and manufactured in Canada and shipped to customers worldwide.
Experience with imaging and research organizations. Organizations that have worked with Yezitronix include Philips, Samsung Healthcare, bk ultrasound, Hitachi Aloka Medical America, Invivo and the National Institutes of Health.
Tell us which procedure, anatomy or imaging modality you need to work with, and we will recommend a suitable ultrasound phantom or multimodality design. If you have a specific requirement, share your dimensions and application details so we can discuss the appropriate solution.
Yes. Yezitronix provides multimodality phantoms that serve as an ultrasound, elastography, MRI and CT phantoms in one model.
A medical imaging phantom is a tissue-mimicking human device that can be scanned with ultrasound, MRI and CT systems and output digital images accordingly. Medical imaging phantoms are used for training, research, equipment testing and calibration, with no patient involved.
Tissue-mimicking medical phantoms are commonly made from water-based gels such as agar, gelatin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), or from oil-based materials such as paraffin gel and copolymers. Each material is tuned to approximate the acoustic and mechanical properties of soft tissue, so the phantom gives a realistic image and needle feel if biopsies are performed.
Yezitronix ultrasound phantom models include prostate phantoms (brachytherapy, end-fire, side-fire, multimodality and with/without catheter), breast, very large breast phantom with backbone, kidney, liver, upper abdomen, thyroid, bladder scanner phantom, vulva, vagina, and anus phantoms. Some are multimodality phantoms for ultrasound, MRI, CT, Elastography. Custom or semi-custom phantoms are also designed and manufactured according to customers specifications.
Yes, we build custom and semi-custom medical phantoms when an off the shelf model does not match a customer's application. The customer can specify the phantom anatomy, dimensions, lesions size and location, tissue characteristics and imaging modalities. Our team will work with the customers to turn those requirements into a phantom device.
Yes, Yezitronix ships its medical imaging phantoms worldwide.
