N-365 Multipurpose Phantom


Useful both for daily assessment and further research. Gray scale for contrast evaluation,
cyst targets with non-resonance cylinders, line targets for geometrical evaluation, close
range (dead zone) resolutions, axial and lateral resolutions are prepared for scanning.
The phantom is designed to allow scanning from all four side walls.

Features
Durable and stable, KYOTO KAGAKU original phantom material does not change in
property or in shape over times, allowing reliable periodical quality check always with the
same phantom.
The phantom material also excels in its homogeneous granular background reflection.

Cleaning and care surface.
Clean the phantom completely every time
after the training. Ink marks on the models will be
irremovable.
Keep the phantom at room temperature,
away from heat, moisture and direct
sunlight.

Please note: The color of the phantom may change over time, though, please be assured
that this is not deterioration of the material and the radiographic features of
the phantom stay unaffected.

After Training

１ Quality Control with N-365


① Before you start your periodic checking, wait more than 15 minutes after turning
on the main power to your ultrasound scanner.
② Ensure to scan the phantom always at the same
phantom temperature shown on the thermo
mentor on the phantom wall, since the speed of
the sound may depend on the temperature; the
higher the temperatures, the slower the speed
of sound.
To stabilize the temperature, it is recommended
to keep the phantom under the room temperature
where the QC procedures is to be conducted for
more than 6 hours before scanning.

③ Ensure to hold you prove completely straight and


vertically against the targets you intend to scan.

Record the image when the targets shown the


smallest, or you recognize the highest resolution. 90°

④ At the time of your first checking, find the optimal gain so that all gray scales targets
can be shown clearly and record the setting. Then use this gain for all other targets
and use the same setting for your second periodic checking and after.

⑤ To monitor the change of device across the ages, compare the latest date with the
first time checking data created with the same setting and procedures.

Be sure to determine and record the system setting for periodical quality assurance
test, at the time of primary test or other test to document baseline performance.
The system setting can vary depending on the system and the transducers.

２ After Training
After use, wash with water and then carefully wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.
