Abstract:
A test object for 3D-ultrasound (US) imaging equipment was constructed, that could be used for various purposes: For training of the correct technical setup procedures and practical handling of a 3D-US equipment, as well as for various quality assurance procedures. The size and volume of these structures were known precisely (+/- 0.1 mm resp. +/- 0.06 mL, respectively; smallest volume: 0.1 mL). The stability of the structures was in agreement with guideline IEC 854 and allowed to quantify exactly the imaging and measurement errors of size and volume measurements performed with commercial 3D-equipment. The test object is well suited to validate measured volume data, as well as to perform procedures of technical quality assurance in a reproducible manner.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
