Dual Attenuation Phantom, Gammex 406 LE

Dual Attenuation Phantom

Gammex 406 LE

Product Overview

The phantom is essentially 2 phantoms in 1.  The phantom permits quality control tests over a wide range of frequencies.  

The 406 LE is a highly effective instrument for demonstrating superior image quality while challenging high performance ultrasound systems.  The phantom provides a comprehensive profile of the scanner's overall image quality. 

Benefits

  • Perform quality control tests over a wide range of frequencies with 1phantom.
  • Because of the target depth, the phantom provides greater scanner and transducer performance tests of:
    • resolution
    • depth of penetration 
    • electronic caliper measurement 
  • Extra pin targets permit testing high frequency transducers designed to image the first few centimeters of human tissue
  • Multiple sets of axial resolution targets make the phantom well adapted for demonstrating high resolution detail
  • Determine the resolution of detecting various diameter blood vessels.
  • Compact size
  • Economical

Features

  • Contains both 0.5 and 0.7 dB/cm/MHz attenuations in a side-by-side configuration
  • The phantom uses the Gammex Tissue Mimicking gel with a smoother background texture.
  • The Phantom uses a composite film scanning surface with improved transmission properties 
  • The phantom has target depths to 16 cm deep
  • Resolution patterns and all vertical and horizontal targets are constructed of 0.1 mm nylon fiber. 
  • Three sets of axial resolution targets.
  • Scatter-free cylinders of 2, 4 and 6 mm diameter that mimick blood vessels

Certification and Warranty

  • Comes with 1 year Warranty
  • Extended Warranty plans are available
