A beating cardiac phantom has been developed using an excised porcine heart for use as a training tool in echocardiography. The heart is fixed with a formalin-based preservation method, housed in an optically transparent Lexan chamber, and undergoes hydraulic pumping to circulate a blood-mimicking fluid. The cardiac phantom has been used for a period of four months to produce images of excellent quality with ventricular wall motion typical of human subjects.
