I am not sure what you call these models that can be used to mimic the human body/spine under fluoroscopy. I have memories of a rep bringing one to the office during fellowship to allow us ( the fellows) to practice procedures. Do you guys know where I can obtain / purchase one of these? I am looking for something inclusive of the cervical / thoracic/ lumbar anatomy...Any thoughts/ help with this would be appreciated.

I wish! I suppose if all else fails...Just wanted something to have as a teaching tool for those who rotate through

Stryker has one. His name is Buster. I busted one of his vertebral bodies into two pieces.

If you don't want the real thing, you're looking for a synthetic cadaver or a fluoroscopy phantom.

The lumbar model is nice for fluoro, so so for US. It's perfect, unlike any of my real patients, but good to let the students try.

a company called BioTras out of Dallas had one at the last ASIPP meeting I went too. It could be needled thousands of times, and repaired with a heat gun. Looked great under fluoro, and easy to practice on.
