Abstract

Ultrasound-guided interventions require good hand-eye coordination with respect to probe control and needle orientation. We describe a method of making an ultrasound phantom for practice purpose using an edible jelly mixture. The phantom is easy to make, reproducible, cheap, and simulates in vivo target.

Keywords

Ultrasound‑guided biopsy - ultrasound phantom - home made phantom
