PROCEdURE 27. SCAN A TISSUE‑EQUIVALENT PHANTOM
A tissue‑equivalent phantom is an instrument that is designed to simulate a human bladder filled with urine.
It is calibrated to specific values so that you may use it to verify the instrument’s performance and accuracy. It
is a delicate instrument that requires annual certification. Note the following:
• Keep the phantom in a set location as much as possible.
• When being used regularly, clean and refill the top of the phantom weekly.
• When not being used regularly, store the phantom in its case.
• It is required that the tissue‑equivalent phantom be certified every year. If requested, Verathon will
provide a loaner phantom free of charge while your phantom is being certified.
It is important to note when troubleshooting with the tissue‑equivalent phantom that the scan image must
be within all four quadrants of the target area. Scans taken in three or less quadrants can receive differing
measurements and are not considered accurate.
