Multi-Purpose, Multi-Tissue
Ultrasound Phantom
The Standard for Ultrasound
Quality Assurance
• Unique dual attenuation design allows testing on low
frequency abdominal probes up to 5 MHz and high
frequency probes to 15 MHz and higher
• Detachable water wells allow for testing curvilinear
and endocavity probes
• Only general purpose QA phantom on market with
elasticity targets
• Ensure over ten years of reliable use through rein-
spection and repair services
Includes best in industry four-year warranty
The CIRS Model 040GSE Multi-Purpose, Multi-Tissue Key Tests with Model 040GSE
Ultrasound Phantom is the most complete solution avail-
able for performance and quality assurance testing. Its
• Uniformity
dual frequency design and detachable water wells allows
testing of most transducer shapes – including curvilinear • Depth of Penetration
and endocavity – and frequencies. It is also the only QA • Beam Profile/ Focal Zone/ Lateral Response
phantom on the market that provides both elasticity tar- Width
gets and all the standard B-mode imaging test objects.
• Vertical Distance Measurement
The phantom is made of CIRS' proprietary Zerdine®
hydrogel polymer, which has been formulated to provide • Horizontal Distance Measurement
tissue mimicking properties including compatibility with • Axial and Lateral Resolution
harmonic imaging. To maximize phantom lifetime, this
• Elevational Resolution
gel is contained in a rugged ABS plastic housing with a
Saran-based laminate membrane. • Contrast Resolution
CIRS ultrasound QA phantoms come standard with a • Grayscale Contrast Sensitivity
robust housing, carry case, 48-month warranty, and user • Elasticity Sensitivity
guide.
