Multi-Purpose, Multi-Tissue Phantom

The Standard for Ultrasound Quality Assurance

• Test the full range of standard diagnostic ultrasound probes (2 MHz to 18 MHz)
• Dual attenuation design provides challenging testing environment for high sensitivity probes
• Acoustic properties comply with IEC Technical Standard 62736
• Detachable water wells allow for testing curvilinear and endocavity probes
• Only general purpose QA phantom on market with elasticity targets
• Ensure over ten years of reliable use through reinspection and repair services

The Model 040GSE Multi-Purpose, Multi-Tissue Ultrasound Phantom is the most complete solution available for performance and quality assurance testing. Its dual frequency design and detachable water wells allow testing of most transducer shapes – including curvilinear and endocavity – and frequencies. It is also the only QA phantom on the market that provides both elasticity targets and all the standard B-mode imaging test objects.

The phantom is made of proprietary Zerdine ® hydrogel polymer, which has been formulated to provide tissue mimicking properties including compatibility with harmonic imaging. To maximize phantom lifetime, this gel is contained in a rugged ABS plastic housing with a Saran-based laminate membrane.
