Small Parts Basic QA Phantom (US-4B) — Ultrasound Equipment Quality Assurance & Transducer Testing
The Small Parts Basic QA Phantom (Item No. US-4B, 0.33 kg) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is a quality assurance phantom built for routine maintenance of image quality in ultrasonography — not for patient training, but for testing the equipment itself, including monitoring transducer aging over time.
Purpose-built for consistent, repeatable QA testing. Its compact size allows imaging in a single scan, saving time during routine checks. Two embedded horizontal wires ensure the verticality of the entrance beam, and a supporting guide frame secures the transducer in a fixed home position for testing — removing positioning variability between test sessions, which matters when you’re comparing scanner performance over months or years.
Designed for long-term reliability, not just a single test cycle. The phantom’s material is stable and long-life, proven through a 5-year test — important since a QA phantom that degrades over time would introduce its own measurement error into your quality checks. A thermometer is included to maintain the phantom’s internal temperature within the 23°C–26°C range needed for accurate, repeatable readings.
Recommended use: monthly basic quality testing, plus longer-term quality assurance to track consistency of scanner and transducer performance — a good fit for institutions running NABL or similar equipment quality documentation alongside their imaging services.
What’s included: 1 phantom, 1 thermometer, 1 instruction manual. Materials: urethane elastomer, acryl, nylon (latex-free).
Developed under supervision of the Japan Association of Breast and Thyroid Sonology (JABTS).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this for training students, or for equipment maintenance?
A: Equipment maintenance and quality assurance — it’s used to test and monitor the performance and aging of ultrasound scanners and transducers, not for patient-scenario training.
Q: How often should this be used for testing?
A: The manufacturer recommends monthly basic quality tests, with ongoing use for longer-term quality assurance tracking.
Q: Why does it need a specific temperature range?
A: Accurate, repeatable QA readings depend on the phantom’s internal temperature staying within 23°C–26°C — the included thermometer lets you verify this before testing.
