Abstract

The analog pressure-time waveform analyser and the computerized acoustic output acquisition system have been developed for calibration of diagnostic ultrasound machines. A description of both the analog and digital systems is given and their performance is evaluated. The advantages and fundamental limitations of the digital and analog systems are also discussed. While the properly designed analog system may constitute an alternative to the more expensive digital system, the latter offers better versatility and flexibility in updating measurement procedures, and storing and recalling data.
