PIXY
The Anthropomorphic Training/Teaching Phantom
An anatomically and radiologically correct female
Small size and low weight simplify positioning
Can be positioned for most views
Permits evaluation of student performance
Organs accept contrast media
Opaque or TransparentPIXY is used to demonstrate anatomy as well as evaluate positioning and imaging techniques, including kVp, mAs, contrast, optical density, OFD and TFD. Radiographs of PIXY are optically equivalent to density and contrast to human patients.
PIXY permits unlimited exposures and tolerate trainee errors.
PIXY ANATOMY
PIXY shoulders have ball and socket joints. Elbows and knees flex 90˚ to 100˚. Hips flex 130˚ with 30˚ hypertension.
A “frog position” is made possible by lateral flexion at the hips. The right hand is molded with fingers positioned for an AP view. The left hand is positioned in oblique-lateral position. The left foot is in full plantar flexion. The right foot is in natural position.
C1, C2, C6, and C7 were converted to mechanical nylon joints because educators in the field prefer full positioning capabilities for the head. The design permits the remaining neck vertebrae to be fixed in a normal position, while assuring a full range of head motion.
PIXY contains abdominal and pelvic organs: stomach, gall bladder, urinary bladder, kidneys, rectum, and sigmoid flexure. These are air-filled, but accept water or contrast media and can be easily flushed after use. Custom fractures and custom pathologies are optional at additional cost.
Skeletons are in continuous production. Still, allow 6 – 8 weeks for your PIXY to be made. Production lead time can be as short as 4 weeks or as long as 12 weeks, depending on a myriad of factors. Do plan ahead for your PIXY, as they are rarely “in stock” and “ready to ship” that day.
The skull of PIXY has frontal and sphenoidal sinuses, ethmoidal and mastoid air cells and the auditory ossicles. Bone sutures are radiographically visible.
Soft tissues are available in opaque or transparent tissue-equivalent materials. The transparent PIXY has visible organs and skeleton except at the hips, knees, and elbows, which are opaque because of the latex coverings which are needed to retain tissue-equivalent gels for soft-tissue continuity at these articulations. Two-ply coverings protect against gel leakage.
Standard PIXY lungs are molded of tissue-equivalent foam with the mass density of inflated human lungs (0.30 g/cc). They are connected to the oro-nasal cavity by the stem bronchi and trachea. The oro-nasal pharynx is filled with a nearly air-equivalent foam.
OTHER PIXY INFO
PIXY comes with a permanent storage case.
Her crated shipping weight is 265#.
Refurbishment service is offered to repair wear and tear from usage over an extended period of time. Refurbishment restores PIXY to its original condition. Most PIXY owners budget for refurbishment every 5 years. For details of this service, click here: http://www.supertechx-ray.com/a255-r.htm
