ULTRASOUND PHANTOM AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ULTRASOUND PHANTOM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598091 titled 'ULTRASOUND PHANTOM AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ULTRASOUND PHANTOM
The ultrasound phantom described in the patent application consists of water, a polysaccharide (A) with a sol-gel phase transition point between 30°C and 95°C, and a polysaccharide thickener (B) with a 1% aqueous solution viscosity of 300 mPa·s or higher at room temperature. The phantom is designed to exhibit a tan δ of 0.2 or greater under a gel state, as determined by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at 1 Hz and room temperature.
