It is recommended that these be of different scan formats such as one linear (or curvilinear array), and one sector (mechanical, phased, or vector). System Sensitivity/Penetration This test should be done with the following settings: maximum transmit power proper receiver gain and TGC that allows echo texture to be visible in the deep region transmit focus at the deepest depth The maximum depth of visualization is determined by comparing the gradually weakening echo texture to electronic noises near the bottom of the image. Image Uniformity Adjust the TGC controls and other sensitivity controls to obtain an image as uniform as possible. vertical or radially oriented streaks? dropouts? reduction of brightness near edges of the scan? brightness transitions between focal zones? Gray Scale Photography (if applicable) Do either (a), (b), or (c). For Scanners with a Discrete Bar Pattern Count the number of distinct gray bar steps on the viewing monitor. Then count the number of steps visualized in the gray bar on the hard copy image. For Scanners with a Continuous Gray Bar Pattern Use calipers to measure the length of the black-to-white transition of the gray wedge on the viewing monitor. If the relative length of the black-to-white transition on the hard copy image is less, document how much is missing. For Laser Imager (Hard Copy Device) Prior to filming any images, an SMPTE test pattern created by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), should be printed using the appropriate window width (WW) and window level (WL). If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, you should review Gray et al., Test pattern for video display and hard- copy camera, Radiology 145:519-527 (1985), and then contact your local service engineer for assistance. When printed, the 95% density patch within the 100% square and the 5% density patch within the 0% square should be visible, and there should be no notable distortions or artifacts present. If these criteria are not met, contact your service engineer for laser camera calibration before proceeding with any filming.
