“…The thin film test object is then oriented coplanar to the scanning plane of the ultrasonic imaging system being evaluated. Assuming that the substrate thickness is much less than a wavelength of the ultrasound pulse, the pulse will propagate at close to the speed of sound of the host medium (Archer-Hall andHutchins 1979, 1981), and the acoustic inhomogeneities presented by the deposited pattern will produce reflected waves that will be detected and processed by the ultrasound scanner (see figure 1(a)). In essence, this technique allows a very controlled volume distribution of scatterers, albeit in a volume of minimal thickness.…”

We propose a novel test object for ultrasound imaging. The test object, or phantom, is manufactured using thin film techniques allowing precise placement of 'digital scatterers' which can produce sophisticated test targets, similar to those that are widely used in imaging science to evaluate displays, printers and electronic imaging systems. These test objects can be used in conjunction with standard performance evaluation methods and devices to augment and enhance their capabilities and range of application.

A novel test device that has the potential to facilitate day-to-day maintenance and quality assurance of ultrasonic medical imaging systems was developed and tested. The device consists of small echogenic particles deposited on a thin film substrate in patterns similar to those found on conventional eye charts, which can be scanned to produce recognizable images that can be quantitatively evaluated in a quick and repeatable fashion. An evaluation system consisting of this device and a related assessment methodology was tested at several locations by both physicians and sonographers. The results of the testing and responses of the users were both encouraging and insightful.
