TS 62558-2011 Ultrasonics – Real-time pulse-echo scanners – Phantom with cylindrical@ artificial cysts in tissue-mimicking material and method for evaluation and periodic testing of 3D-distributions of void-detectability ratio (VDR) (Edition 1.0)
This technical specification specifies essential characteristics of a phantom and method for the measurement of void-detectability ratio for medical ultrasound systems and related transducers. It is restricted to the aspect of long-term reproducibility of testing results. This technical specification establishes: ?C important characteristics and requirements for a TMM 3D artificial cyst phantom using anechoic voids; ?C a design example of a 3D artificial cyst phantom@ the necessary test equipment and use of relevant computer software algorithms. This technical specification is currently applicable for linear array transducers. A uniformity test prior to void-detectability ratio (VDR) measurement is recommended. NOTE The basic concept of the 3D artificial-cyst phantom may also be valid for other types of ultrasound transducers; however there is a need for further verification (see Annex D).
