a. Full scale for distance implies the maximum depth of the image.
b. An RMI 413a model phantom with 0.7 dB/cm MHz attenuation was used.
c. Based upon C15 imaging at maximum depth with calipers in rectangular imaging area.
d. The area accuracy is defined using the following equation:
% tolerance = ((1 + lateral error) * (1 + axial error) – 1) * 100 + 0.5%.
e. The circumference accuracy is defined as the greater of the lateral or axial accuracy and by the following
equation:
% tolerance = ( (maximum of 2 errors) * 100) + 0.5%.
