The Ultrasound Neonatal Head Phantom, Abnormal type (Item No. US-14b, 1.5 kg) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is billed as the world’s first ultrasound neonatal head phantom with hydrocephalus — giving students a realistic pathological counterpart to normal newborn cranial anatomy for cranial ultrasound training.
Accurate cerebral anatomy with a lifelike feel. The phantom accurately depicts a newborn’s cerebral anatomy, including the skull, anterior and posterior fontanels, and a hypertrophied lateral ventricle — the key finding used to identify hydrocephalus on cranial ultrasound. Its soft, life-like touch closely mirrors what a sonographer would feel palpating a real neonatal skull.
Trains the full cranial ultrasound workflow. Students practice scanning brain anatomy in sagittal (angled parasagittal), coronal, and transverse planes through any of the fontanels, as well as palpation of the anterior, posterior, and mastoid fontanels — the physical exam step that guides correct probe placement before scanning even begins.
Why this pairs well with the normal-type phantom: cranial ultrasound training benefits from direct comparison between normal and abnormal findings. Institutions running comprehensive neonatal sonography training should consider this alongside the Ultrasound Neonatal Head Phantom (Normal type), so students learn to recognize hydrocephalus against a known healthy baseline.
What’s included: 1 ultrasound phantom, 1 pillow, storage case, talcum powder, instruction manual.
Developed under supervision of Charlotte Henningsen, Chair & Professor of the Sonography Department at Adventist University of Health Sciences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What pathology does this phantom simulate?
A: Hydrocephalus, represented by a hypertrophied lateral ventricle — the phantom is described by the manufacturer as the world’s first ultrasound neonatal head phantom to include this pathology.
Q: Which fontanels can be used for scanning?
A: All three — anterior, posterior, and mastoid fontanels support palpation and scanning access.
Q: Should we buy this alongside the normal-type phantom?
A: Many institutions do, to give students direct normal-vs-abnormal comparison during training. Contact our team if you’d like both as a set.
