Solid SAM head phantoms

MCL-T offers solid SAM head phantoms for applications - such as radio radiation pattern testing - where a liquid-filled phantom is not necessary.

The advantages of a solid head are:

The MCL-T solid heads are made from carbon-loaded silicone rubber with dielectric properties that match tissues over a wide range. More information on the development of this material is given here.

The solid heads can be made to the shape of either the inner or outer surfaces of the standard SAM shell phantoms. If an inner head shape is used, then a small section of SAM headshell can be supplied to provide the ear (pinna) spacing and the reference positioning lines.
