Doppler Ultrasound Phantoms

Doppler Ultrasound Phantoms

Verify ultrasound system and transducer performance. Doppler 403™ and Mini-Doppler 1430™ Flow Phantoms help assess system velocities using precision flow rates and proprietary blood-mimicking fluid.

TASK GROUP

Overview

Calibrating your Doppler ultrasound systems for accurate flow measurements optimizes the output, offering meaningful results to patients undergoing noninvasive testing.

Comprehensive QA & Compliance Testing
Determine maximum signal penetration, channel isolation, and flow rate readout accuracy for various angles and beam directions — with capabilities exceeding ACR, ECR, AIUM, and other QA program requirements. The horizontal segment simulates a carotid artery and the diagonal segment is used for measuring Doppler sensitivity and developing scanner techniques.

Unparalleled Tissue Mimicking
Our phantoms contain blood-mimicking fluid ultrasonically similar to human tissue, with an electronic flow of 1550 m/s. Patented High Equivalency Gel (HE Gel™) offers tissue mimicking for evaluating image uniformity, detecting dead transducer elements, and assessing maximum penetration depth.

Two Modes in One Phantom
Both phantoms are self-contained Doppler flow and B-Mode QA test systems, with streamlined fluid flow at variable rates in a continuous or pulsed mode.

Doppler 403 Flow Phantom – Ideal for abdominal flow measurements
Laminar and parabolic flows available (velocity dependent)
Supports routine QA, education, and research
Measures axial and lateral resolution from the surface to 16 cm

Mini-Doppler 1430 Flow Phantom – Ideal for cardiology and musculoskeletal applications
Supports routine QA, education, and research
Measures small parts resolution
