Three scan-surfaces

The ultrasound phantoms, unlike human subjects or random scannable materials, offers a reliable medium which contains specific, known test objects. The ultrasound phantoms enables repeatable, qualitative assessment of ultrasound scanner performance over time.

The Phantom Axial Resolution Target is constructed from a proprietary urethane matrix, housed within a rigid PVC container with three separate scanning windows. It allows for depth of penetration, uniformity, distance calibration, resolution and lesion delectability assessment.

The Phantom is sold with a three year warranty. The Ultrasound QA phantom is supplied with an in-house certification traceable to NIST standards, user manual, ultrasound physics textbook and a carrying case.
