Quality Assurance
Phantoms

Quality Assurance Evaluations should be done with phantoms
and test objects that are applicable to the parameters being
evaluated or to the user's clinical practice.
Typical phantoms are composed of material that acoustically
mimic human tissue. Pins, anechoic and echogenic targets are
physically positioned to provide information for a variety of
tests.
Doppler phantoms are currently expensive and complicated to
deal with on the user level. If a problem with any Doppler
parameters or measurement is suspected, contact a local
service representative for evaluation.
The RMI 403GS phantom is still available. Due to the superior
penetration and resolution capabilities of GE LOGIQ systems,
the RMI 405GSX is recommended. It is the most current one
available to our field service personnel and will provide the
targets and extended life necessary for consistent system
testing.
