With CIRS now part of Mirion Technologies, Sun Nuclear is collaborating with CIRS to provide an expanded suite of Breast Biopsy Phantoms for testing and training purposes.


The Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Phantom and Ultrasound Breast Biopsy Phantom are no longer being manufactured or sold by Sun Nuclear. We are pleased to offer the following suitable alternatives from CIRS, as well as a new solution for training across multiple modalities.


Stereotactic Needle Biopsy Phantom (CIRS Model 013)

  • For use in localization accuracy test per American College of Radiology’s stereotactic breast biopsy accreditation program
    • For use upon system installation or repair, to ensure accurate needle placement
  • Anthropomorphic shape allows accurate simulation of breast compression
  • Re-usable
    • Will not dry out, or leak when punctured
    • Masses can be biopsied multiple times
  • 11 dense masses in three sizes; Two microcalcification clusters
  • Compatible with standalone and add-on stereotactic biopsy systems

Ultrasound Needle Breast Biopsy Phantom with Amorphous Lesions (CIRS Model 52A)

  • Non-spherical shape of embedded targets enable practice with 2D, 3D and 4D image acquisition
    • Improve hand-eye coordination
    • Build confidence and reduce patient anxiety
    • Test new equipment, new techniques
  • Accurately mimics ultrasonic characteristics of tissues found in average human breast
  • Size and shape of simulates average patient in the supine position
  • Six cystic masses and six dense masses, randomly positioned
  • Contains cysts which can be aspirated, solids which can be biopsied

Multi-Modality Breast Biopsy and Sonographic Trainer (CIRS Model 73)

  • Designed to train users in various aspects of breast imaging and image-guided interventional procedures - X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI
  • Mimics heterogeneous appearance of breast tissue
  • Includes cystic and dense lesions embedded within breast background.
    • Half of dense lesions are spherical with an embedded 100-300 micron microcalcification, half have a spiculated shape
    • Calcifications serve as useful markers for image registration between modalities
  • Features patent-pending Z-SkinTM membrane to simulate skin, providing protection from desiccation even after multiple sessions
