Optimal™ Phantom

Product Description

The Optimal™ Ultrasound Phantom is a comprehensive tissue phantom that can evaluate the image quality and geometric accuracy of ultrasound systems with an effective operating frequency range of 2.25 to 7.5 MHz. The phantom is designed with a combination of monofilament line targets for distance measurements and tissue mimicking target structures of varying sizes and contrast content. Four gray scale targets ranging in contrast from +6 to -3 dB are provided to evaluate the system’s displayed dynamic range and gray scale processing performance. The Optimal™ Phantom provides a new and improved dual scan surface design to easily accommodate linear, sector, endoscopic probes and transesophageal (TEE) probes.
