The phantom is created out of a durable, reliable and accurate tissue-mimicking material called Zerdine. Wire targets are inserted in a single column for vertical distance measurements and two rows for horizontal distance measurements at three and six centimeter depths. The near-field targets are what can get the vertical and horizontal measurements for very-high frequency transducers.
The Model 551, Accreditation Phantom for Uniformity helps trained personnel determine if there are lateral or axial streaks on the ultrasound transducer, which is an indication of transducer damage. The phantom is made up of a uniform block of Z-Skin, which can conform to the shape of any transducer and it’s strong enough to endure the probe pressure.
When both phantoms are paired together, it gives facilities a complete solution to create a quality control program that the ACR Ultrasound Accreditation Program requires.
