Analysis of ultrasonography distance accuracy and maximum depth of visualization based-on silicone rubber phantom

Abstract

This study aims to determine ultrasonography distance accuracy and maximum depth of visualization based-on silicone rubber phantom. A simple and inexpensive phantom ultrasound were made silicon rubber Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV). The results of this study obtained an analysis of distance accuracy to obtain an imaging point objext b obtained by distance accuracy of 93%, imaging objex c of 97%, and imaging object d of 86%. The maximum depth of visualization or the maximum depth of linear transducer imaging has a shorter depth of 1.98 cm, while the results of the curve transducer are more than 5 cm up to 25 cm. It can be concluded that overall the results of measurement analysis of distance accuracy ultrasonography images have a high accuracy of distance accuracy of 80%. The greater the frequency, the smaller the maximum depth of imaging because the wavelength is smaller, such as the use of linear transducers with a frequency of 90 Hz, 1.98 cm. The smaller frequency caused greater maximum depth of imaging because the wavelength is also getting greater.This study aims to determine ultrasonography distance accuracy and maximum depth of visualization based-on silicone rubber phantom.
