List,

I’m working on procuring an assortment of US phantoms and just attended (remotely) the US training course run by MTMI and the folks at UM who always do a spectacular job.  I’m curious to know what your favorite phantoms are.  UM folks are vendor neutral but advise a general purpose QC phantom and perhaps a second with different attenuation to ensure you can test all your low frequency probes. They also recommended a uniformity phantom.  I like the Sono TE but the Canadian supplier says CIRS/SUN are no longer manufacturing it.  LEEDS has a similar product in their catalog but I’m not sure of their source.  I have purchased the SUN 552 cylindrical uniformity phantom in the past but it is shallow and maybe more appropriate for quick tech QC.  Also, looking at a solution for elastography testing.

What US phantoms do you use and why?
