 | General Purpose Urethane Ultrasound Phantom. |  |
 | 
The Model 042 General Purpose Urethane Ultrasound Phantom provides an alternative solution for ultrasound quality
assurance. It is ideal for monitoring system performance over time.The Model 042 is constructed from a proprietary urethane matrix and housed within a rigid PVC container with three separate scanning windows. The three scan windows allow the same targets to be imaged at multiple depths thus increasing the functionality of the phantom. The Model 042 is a compact, lightweight, durable tool ideal for ultrasound system consistency checks. It allows for depth of penetration, uniformity, distance calibration, resolution and lesion detectability assessment. All CIRS QA phantoms, including the Model 042, are sold with a user manual, carry case and a certificate of compliance. Please note, that because the urethane has a speed of sound = 1430 m/s, the Model 042 should not be used to assess absolute system performance. The Model 042 is sold with a four-year warranty.

The CIRS Model 054GS General Purpose Ultrasound Phantom offers all the features of the original Model 054 but now
contains gray scale targets and improved sensitivity targets that exceed the phantom requirements outlined in the ACR
accreditation program. The Model 054GS is constructed from the patented solid elastic material, Zerdine® (1). Zerdine® is a durable, reliable and accurate tissue mimicking material. The Model 054GS background material mimics the acoustic properties of soft tissue. A removable water well and endocavity cover extends the use of the phantom by allowing evaluation of all transducer configurations: linear, curvilinear and intercavity. CIRS ultrasound QA phantoms all come standard with a robust housing, rugged carry case, 4-year warranty, user guide and data sheet. (1) US PATENT# 5196343 Performance Measurements |

The new standard for ultrasound quality assurance The CIRS Model 040GSE Multi-Purpose Multi-Tissue Ultrasound Phantom not only contains all the features of the original CIRS Model 040, but also includes gray scale targets, anechoic stepped masses and elasticity targets. The phantom is designed to meet the ultrasound QA challenges of today and tomorrow. The unique dual attenuation of the background gel allows for evaluation of transducers that range from 2 MHz - 15 MHz. A removable water well and endocavity cover extends the use of the phantom by allowing evaluation of all transducer configurations: linear, curvilinear and intercavity. CIRS ultrasound QA phantoms all come standard with a robust housing, rugged carry case, 4-year warranty, user guide and data sheet. Performance Measurements (1) US PATENT# 5196343 |
