Phantoms found "not effective" in testing ultrasound probes as
stated in the magazine 24X7, July, 2002, page 20. "An ultrasound phantom
cannot tell the user if an ultrasound probe is functioning
properly. It cannot tell if there is a dead element in the
transducer or transmitter or if there is a problem with the
receiver." Click here for

the "FirstCall 2000" probe testing system made by Sonora

This is like a medical record for your probes. |
