3D-printed neck phantoms with detailed anatomy for ultrasound-guided procedure and device testing.

The proposed method for building neck phantoms with detailed anatomical features offers a valuable, detailed, low-cost tool for medical training and device testing in otolaryngology, particularly for novel devices that involve artificial intelligence (AI) guidance and robotic-based needle insertion. Additional anatomical refinements and validation studies could further enhance the consistency and accuracy, thus paving the way for future advancements in ultrasound training and research, and ultimately benefiting patient care and safety.
