Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Testing
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • X-ray table mattress pressure redistribution is vital for preventing pressure ulcers in at-risk patients.
  • Current interface pressure analysis using human participants lacks standardization.
  • This variability limits reliable mattress performance assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an anthropomorphic phantom-based method for assessing x-ray table mattress interface pressures.
  • To establish a standardized, reproducible index of mattress performance.
  • To provide a reliable alternative to human testing in mattress evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom (head, pelvis, heels) was constructed using CT scan data.
  • Simulated human weights were introduced using dry sand within the phantom.
  • Interface pressures were measured using XSensor technology and compared against human data.

Main Results:

  • The phantom-based method demonstrated strong correlation with human interface pressure data.
  • High correlation coefficients (R values: head=0.993, pelvis=0.997, heels=0.996) validated the phantom's accuracy.
  • The method proved reliable across five human-equivalent weight simulations.

Conclusions:

  • A novel, validated phantom method for testing x-ray mattress interface pressure was successfully developed.
  • This method offers a standardized approach for routine testing and new mattress development.
  • Phantom data can inform procurement decisions, matching mattress properties to patient needs and imaging requirements.
