Diagnostic QA SolutionsVerify 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.
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 deep
Mini-Doppler 1430 Flow Phantom
- Ideal for cardiology and musculoskeletal applications
- Supports routine QA, education, and research
- Measures small parts resolution
Doppler Flow Pump
- Simulate blood flow when testing Doppler ultrasound devices
- Supports routine Doppler quality assurance measurements of velocity accuracy, directional accuracy, sample volume accuracy and sensitivity
Doppler String Phantom
- Accurately Simulate Physiological and Test Waveforms
- An essential tool for Doppler Ultrasound
"The Doppler 403 Phantom is phenomenal. I cannot believe how flexible it is and how reproducible the results are from unit to unit.”
Medical & Health Physicist
Constant, pulsatile, and custom flow mode options available. Volume flow settings support reliable system velocity testing.
Cross section image shows the highest velocity at the center of the tubing, representing a measurement of laminar, parabolic flow.
Extended Phantom Life
Our rejuvenation program can extend the phantom’s life by 10 years. Rejuvenation replenishes fluid inside the phantom lost over time – and certifies the phantom as comparable to new.
Easy Setup
Entirely self-contained, Doppler Flow Phantoms can go from storage to use in less than 10 seconds.
Sono Transducer Holder
Included Sono Transducer Holder enables placement of the transducer in a precise location for reproducible tests over time.
Doppler Ultrasound Flow Phantom
The Doppler Ultrasound Flow Phantom, when used with the Doppler Flow Pump, provides a complete solution for QA testing of doppler ultrasound devices. The two most common tests are sensitivity and velocity accuracy.
Peripheral Vascular Doppler Flow Phantom
The Peripheral Vascular Doppler flow phantom contains four flow channels simulating superficial vasculature.
Cardiac Doppler Flow Phantom
The Cardiac Doppler flow phantoms contain four flow channels of various diameters simulating the deep vasculature of the cardiac and abdominal vessels.
