Basic QA Ultrasound Phantom
ATS 535-H
Product Description
The Model 535-H rubber-based, tissue-mimicking (TM) phantom is designed to fulfill the basic testing requirements of a Quality Assurance Program. The phantom is designed with a combination of monofilament line targets and six tissue mimicking cylindrical targets of varying sizes. The monofilament line targets have a diameter of 0.12 mm, to optimize the displayed image at frequencies ranging from 2.25 to 7.5 MHz. Four groups of line targets are provided to evaluate the vertical and horizontal calibration measurements, axial-lateral resolution and the dead zone.
