Automated Phantom Analysis for Diagnostic Ultrasound
Ultrasound quality assurance ensures system performance over time and catches degradation in image quality before it affects the diagnostic value of the clinical ultrasound exam. Yet, establishing a QA program can be time consuming and cumbersome. Worse, many system parameters must be subjectively measured, resulting in a high degree of inter-observer variability.
UltraiQ solves these problems with easy-to-use software that can be purchased with the General Purpose or Multi-Purpose, Multi-Tissue Ultrasound Phantom. It objectively measures ultrasound image QA parameters and provides faster, more accurate assessments. UltraiQ quantitatively and automatically evaluates dynamic range, axial resolution, lateral resolution, caliper distance, dead zone, and depth of penetration.
UltraiQ Software can be used with any ultrasound system. Customizable reporting and trending functions make it easy to monitor system performance over time. The intuitive user interface provides guidance for making measurements. After the initial set-up, subsequent measurements can be automatically performed within minutes.
UltraiQ is a five minute quality assurance software tool for ultrasound transducers. Multiple large scale assessments of transducers have proven that up to 40% of the ultrasound transducers in clinical use are damaged. With the use of UltraiQ, these defects could have been detected and resolved at an early stage. Misdiagnosis due to a damaged transducer has also occurred.
With its easy to use interface and compatibility with numerous national and international guidelines for QA, the software tool is a must-have if you want fast, standardized and strictly objective quality assurance. UltraiQ was developed in house by Cablon Medical B.V., and the development of the software program continues constantly as new methods and guidelines become available.
