Model 2020 Bladder scanner phantom for mechanical scanners

Description and specifications:

Outer dimensions: Diameter 16 cm, height 15 cm Weight 2 kg

There is no protecting plate covering the fragile phantom surface, so make sure, not to touch the surface with the probe. Holders for VitaScans probes V.1 and V.2 can be provided.
This phantom is made without substances to adjust the speed of sound, so the displaied volume will be a factor 1540/1495 ^3 larger than the physical volume. A bladder of 118 ml will be displaied as beeing 1302 ml.

Instructions:

Rotate the transducer slightly to mount it in the holder. Use the preservative fluid as coupling media.

Be sure that there is at least 2½ - 3 cm fluid to scan through. If possible set the scanner to test-mode or infant-mode.

Scan the phantom from the top surface through the fluid.

Caution: Don´t press the transducer into the phantom.

The phantom is made of fragile jelly and should be handled with care.

Please notice that the lid may not be 100 % tight. Drain fluid off before transportation, but never let it stay dry more than a few days.
