  1. Probe Diagnostic Results Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  2. Probe DiagnosticResults Does you service provider test them? How do they test them? Probably with a tissue equivalent phantom! Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  3. Probe DiagnosticResults Tissue equivalent phantom will test: Axial resolution – this is mainly affected by the speed of ultrasound or the pulse width.Lateral resolution – this is mainly affected by the beam width and the processing within the machine. Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  4. Probe DiagnosticResults It will not successfully test: Dropout – IF it is bad enough (it is not possible to see drop out in a cardiac probe as all elements fire together) Cable breaks Dead or weak elements Individual elements shorting Shorts in cables Lenses delaminating Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  5. Probe DiagnosticResults The tissue equivalent phantom is quick and easy to use but doesn’t give any measurable results of image quality. At best, the image “looks ok”. Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  6. Probe DiagnosticResults Acoustic tester will test: Dead or weak elements Shorting in the elements Breaks in the cable Shorts in the cable Delamination of the acoustic lens Probe sensitivity (has it fallen off with age?) Pulse width (directly related to Axial resolution) Bandwidth (ability to optimise image for penetration or resolution) Centre frequency Pulse waveform Frequency spectrum Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  7. Probe DiagnosticResults So how does your service provider test your probes? ? Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au

  8. Probe DiagnosticResults In Australia, only ProbeLogic has the required equipment to perform both acoustic testing and phantom testing. Opening Hours : Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 5:00pm | Phone : 1300-611-503 | Web: www.probelogic.com.au
