TEACHING & TRAINING PHANTOMS FOR CIVILIAN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS
The concept of grouping a large number of casualties in two teaching/training phantoms was originated by the Fleet Hospital & Operations Training Center in Camp Pendleton, California. Wounded Willy & Damaged Debbie were designed and constructed by RSD.
These phantoms yield radiographs resembling those of a human body with human technical factors and limited artifacts, articulated to enable basic views to be presented, and with an appropriate level of human anatomy. They are well-balanced patient substitutes for basic training of radiologic technologists, particularly in military or emergency room environments.
Both Willy & Debbie demonstrate and evaluate positioning and imaging techniques, including kVp, mAs, contrast, optical density, OFD and TFD. Their radiographs are optically equivalent to humans in density and contrast.
Known for developing the crash-test dummy that transformed the automotive industry, Samuel W. Alderson applied his impactful research and development in replicating the human body to revolutionize the medical industry with phantoms. RSD’s team of experts has perfected the design and construction of “superhuman” bones as a result of our detailed attention to skeleton construction which is considered a triumph of our sculptural mold maker’s craft. All RSD products are custom-made in the USA, rigorously tested for quality assurance, and guaranteed with a 2-year limited warranty. It’s a well-known fact that we, at RSD, have a longstanding passion for phantoms!
