From product enhancements to custom-built solutions, RSD is your trusted partner for product design, engineering, and manufacturing for all imaging modalities. Custom-made for a leading university, RSD’s “Circle of Willis” features built-in product contrast and eliminates the need for (and hassle associated with) injections. Founded in revolutionary product development, RSD employs the progressive use of molding, 3D printing capability, and advanced modeling allowing for limitless product possibilities tailored to your needs.
Recognized as the global standard for training radiological technologists, RSD phantoms provide realistic anatomical detail and multimodality, high-fidelity imaging that delivers quantifiable data. With an exceptional focus on usability and clinical accuracy, RSD is trusted industrywide to provide dynamic and highly customizable phantoms to meet imaging, training, and therapy needs.
For over 30 years, RSD has combined Alderson’s pioneer inventions with modern innovations that exceed user needs and industry expectations. Our expert team of engineers has perfected the design and construction of our lifelike bone simulation technology, thereby setting the standard for realistic imaging. All RSD products are custom-made in the USA, rigorously tested for quality assurance, and guaranteed with a 2-year limited warranty.
Trusted for decades, RSD specializes in the handcrafted development of phantoms and support devices used in the medical industry and across the globe.
With approximately 10,000 RSD phantoms in use worldwide, the radiology industry has relied on RSD products to teach and train physicists, technologists, and educators for over 30 years.
Founder of RSD, Samuel W. Alderson was a world-renowned physicist and engineer who invented the automotive crash test dummy, engineered life-like dummies for NASA’s Apollo mission, and created the global standard in medical phantoms to support radiography and radiation therapy. Alderson was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame® in 2013 and his medical phantoms live on through Radiology Support Devices and its progressive product advancements and customization.
Keele University’s School of Health and Rehabilitation opened a state-of-the-art radiography suite using RSD’s PIXY Phantom to highlight the practice of hands-on training with visual reinforcement.
