Evaluate Full Range of Clinical Imaging Frequencies

The Model ATS 539 Multi-Purpose Phantom is an easy, comprehensive means of evaluating imaging systems over the full range of clinical imaging frequencies (2 MHz to 18 MHz).

The phantom is designed with a combination of monofilament line targets for distance measurements and tissue-mimicking target structures of varying sizes and contrasts. Cystic-like target structures are positioned in-line vertically, thereby permitting an entire target group to be displayed in one view. Due to the acoustic similarity of the background material and the target structures, artifacts caused by distortion, shadowing or enhancement have been eliminated. Six gray scale targets ranging in contrast from +15 to -15 dB are provided to evaluate the system’s displayed dynamic range and gray scale processing performance.

 

Performance measures:

  • Uniformity
  • Depth of Penetration
  • Beam Profile/ Focal Zone/ Lateral Response Width
  • Vertical Distance Measurement
  • Horizontal Distance Measurement
  • Axial and Lateral Resolution
  • Elevational Resolution
  • Contrast Resolution
  • Grayscale Contrast Sensitivity
  • Dead Zone Assessment
