General Purpose Urethane Ultrasound Phantom

Model 042

QA PHANTOM FOR ULTRASOUND SYSTEM CONSISTENCY CHECKSThe Model 042 General Purpose Urethane Ultrasound Phantom provides an alternative solution to CIRS’ tissue-equivalent quality assurance phantoms. It is ideal for monitoring system performance over time.

The Model 042 is constructed from a proprietary urethane matrix and housed within a rigid PVC container with three separate scanning windows. The three scan windows al-low the same targets to be imaged at multiple depths, thus increasing the functionality of the phantom and minimizing size.

Inside the phantom, there are five test target groups: verti-cal plane targets, horizontal plane targets, axial resolution targets, lateral resolution targets, and stepped masses. These target groups allow assessment of depth of penetra-tion, uniformity, distance calibration, resolution and lesion detectability.

The Model 042 is a compact, lightweight, durable tool that is ideal for ultrasound system consistency checks. The

Features

• Durable proprietary urethane background gel

• Three scanning windows for target visualization at multiple depths

• Five embedded test target groups

• Includes user guide, certificate of compliance, carry case and warranty

General Purpose Urethane Ultrasound Phantom is sold with a user manual, carry case, certificate of compliance, and a 48-month warranty.

Please note: Because the urethane has a speed of sound of 1430 m/s, Model 042 should not be used to assess absolute system performance.
