Ultrasonics - Pulse-echo scanners - Part 1: Techniques for calibrating spatial measurement systems and measurement of system point-spread function response
This International Standard describes methods of calibrating the spatial measurement facilities and point-spread function of ultrasonnic imaging equipment in the ultrasonic frequency range 0,5 MHz to 15 MHz. This standard is relevant for ultrasoninc scanners based on the pulse-echo principle of the types listed below:- mechanical sector scanners;- electronic phased-array sector scanners;- electronic liniar-array scannars;- electronic curved-array sector scanners;- water-bath scanners based on any of the above four scanning mechanisms;- 3D-volume reconstruction systems.
