IDEAL SUBSTITUTE FOR TEACHING & TRAINING RADIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGISTS
- Anthropomorphic phantom disassembles into 9 parts
- Small size and low weight simplify positioning
- Unlimited repetition of most views for which patients cannot be used
- Provides valid feedback to evaluate trainee performance
- Designed to image any clinical view (AP, oblique, lateral, frog legs, etc.)
- Inclusive skin tones, from light to dark complexion, available at no additional cost
- Custom pathologies and traumas available
Offered in opaque or transparent, Take-Apart Pixy is an anatomically and radiologically correct female designed specifically for training radiologic technologists. At 5’ 1” (156 cm) weighing 105 lbs (48 kg), Take-Apart Pixy is a repeatable, convenient substitute for patients and virtually indestructible.
Take-Apart Pixy may be ordered with or without abdominal and pelvic organs: stomach, gall bladder, urinary bladder, kidneys, rectum, and sigmoid flexure. The organs are air-filled but accept water or contrast media that can be easily flushed after use. Custom pathologies and traumas are available at an additional cost.
Built with soft-tissue mold and skeleton molds that are matched for anatomic fidelity, Take-Apart Pixy permits unlimited exposures, demonstrates the effects of changing technical factors, and allows for the evaluation of student performance. Students have no difficulty in maneuvering Take-Apart Pixy into the most desired positions as the phantom is built to tolerate trainee errors.
Take-Apart Pixy is used to demonstrate anatomy and evaluate positioning and imaging techniques, including kVp, mAs, contrast, optical density, digital processing, OFD, and TFD. Made of tissue-equivalent materials and life-like articulations, Take-Apart Pixy is more realistic than a cadaveric skeleton with radiographs that are optically equivalent in density and contrast to human patients.
C1, C2, C6, and C7 were converted to mechanical nylon joints because educators in the field prefer full positioning capabilities for the head. This design permits the remaining neck vertebrae to be fixed in a normal position while assuring a full range of head motion.
The skull of Take-Apart 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 Take-Apart Pixy has visible organs and skeleton.
Take-Apart 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.

TEACHING & TRAINING PHANTOMS FOR CIVILIAN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS
- 59 pathologies and traumas available between Willy & Debbie
- Unlimited repetition of views without human exposure
- Radiographs that permit evaluation of trainee performance
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.
Product Differences
Aside from gender differences, the most obvious difference between Willy & Debbie is in the complement of traumas and pathologies assigned to each. Debbie is fitted with a wig, while Willy is bald. They are dressed in camos for military training and in jumpsuits for civilian training.
Realism of Traumas and Pathologies
“There is no single, unique description of any of their traumas and pathologies. Rather, there are limitless variations among a broad range of casualties. The most meaningful judgments of the realism of trauma and pathologies are those based on long radiographic experience across the spectrum of casualties.”
— Patrick Hale, Senior Radiologic Technologist at the UCLA Emergency Room and an RSD consultant, made those judgments with respect to Willy and Debbie.
Dimensions
At 5’ 1” (156 cm) tall, weighing 105 lbs (48 kg), Willy & Debbie match the size and weight of RSD’s Take-Apart Pixy. Technologists must learn to work with patients of all sizes and weights, so a smaller adult-size phantom is as valid for training as a larger phantom, and position is facilitated.
Lungs
Lungs are molded of durable materials with radiodensities matched to humans in a median respiratory state. Animal lungs matching the human in size and blood vessels are available, but they are oriented towards research rather than training.
Soft Tissues
Willy & Debbie have solid “soft tissues” that are hard and rigid. They cannot be palpated to locate traumas. However, radiological technologists are generally informed by the physician as to the views to be taken. The manual provides this information to instructors.
Skeletons
RSD-manufactured skeletons are used rather than natural human skeletons. The latter are generally unavailable and usually consist of an assortment of bones ranging from children to adults of ages, for which osteoporosis becomes a factor.
RSD skeletons are not to be confused with plastic skeletons for teaching anatomy. RSD skeletons are made to fit the soft-tissue molds precisely. They have spongiosa moldings within marrow cavities and outer, cortical bone. Both constituents meet the internationally accepted standards for radiodensity and specific gravity.
Neck
While anatomic fidelity and the ability to move the head into a broad range of views is required in radiography, no mechanism can be designed for intervertebral motion without artifacts obliterating the radiographs. This problem has been solved by the use of two necks. One is a multi-articulated polycarbonate assembly which provides for nearly all commonly used views. There is no attempt at radiographic realism in this neck. An alternate, fully realistic neck is interchangeable with the mechanical neck. The cervical spine of this neck contains traumas.
