USE OF THE REMOVABLE WATER WELL AND COVERS
The phantom is shipped with the protective cover attached to the phantom. This
can be removed by stretching the elastic latches on either side of the phantom
up and off of the protective cover. The included water well and covers are easily
secured to the phantom with these same rubber latches. Simply place the water
well or cover on top of the phantom and stretch the elastic latches up and over the
attachment point on either side of the accessory.
Coupling gel can be applied directly to the scan surface. This option is best used
with linear transducers. For curved arrays, the water well may be attached and filled
with water to provide better coupling. Side Fire transducers can be particularly chal-
lenging to scan with a standard phantom. CIRS has designed a removable endo-
cavity cover for these transducers. When this accessory is attached, the phantom
should be placed on its back and the cover should be filled with water.

When finished scanning it is best to clean the scan surface of any water or coupling
gel and replace the protective cover.
