The Model 560 rubber-based, tissue-mimicking (TM) phantom is designed to provide a basic means of evaluating an imaging system’s performance and its 3D volumetric measurements.
The phantom is designed with a combination of monofilament line targets. six non-echogenic cylindrical targets of varying sizes and a 3D egg-shaped target structure. The monofilament line targets have a diameter of 0.12 mm, to optimize the displayed image at frequencies ranging from 2.25 to 7.5 MHz. Four groups of line targets are provided to evaluate the vertical and horizontal calibration measurements, axial-lateral resolution and the dead zone.
