8. All findings should be documented on the quality assurance record.
Results
The targets should appear circular with sharp clearly defined edges, indicating an abrupt transition from
the echogenic to the anechoic region. The targets are anechoic and should be free of any internal echoes
or fill-in. However, the presence of internal system noise may manifest itself by producing an observable
shade of gray within the target area.
The specific values determined, while significant in their own right, are somewhat less important than
stability over time. Performing this test on a routine basis at the same instrument settings should produce
the same results. Any changes should be investigated.
CARE RUBBER-BASED PHANTOMS
For best results the phantom should be kept clean at all times and stored at room temperature. In
particular a build-up of dried coupling gel on the scan surface should be avoided. The phantom may be
cleaned with warm water using a lint free cloth. Particularly stubborn stains and dirt may be removed with
a mild household cleaner. The use of petroleum solvents should be avoided since they may adversely
react with the rubber-based material.
