Description
The tissue-mimicking phantom for use in routine technical quality assurance (TQA). PVA based material mimics the sound velocity and acoustic attenuation of the human tissue, is nontoxic, durable and easy to handle and maintenance. Comparable and reproducible results can be achieved from a single image, making this a perfect daily QA tool. To determine the spatial resolution of phantom images, a modulation transfer function (MTF) is calculated by the Pro-Control software using radial MTF algorithm. Apart from radial MTF test object the phantom also contains structures for geometry assessment.
Technical data (can be modified to customer specifications):
- overal dimensions: 110x110x60mm
- top and bottom cover made of PCV
- test insert dimensions: 110x110x50mm
- test insert contains:
- 20mm in diameter round object (20mm and 10mm from phantom faces) for radial MTF
- 2 groups of four round rods (1mm in diameter) with 15mm horizontal and vertical spacing for geometry assessment - tissue mimicking material is based on Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) a synthetic polymer
- carrying case
