Zusammenfassung:An ultrasound phantom simulating hard and soft tissue of a vertebrate and methods of production and use of same. The ultrasound phantom includes a hard tissue derived from a second vertebrate organism and a material covering at least a portion thereof. The material has ultrasonic properties similar to those of soft tissue. Also disclosed is a method of producing an ultrasound phantom simulating hard and soft tissue of a first vertebrate organism. The method includes the steps of removing a hard tissue from a second vertebrate organism and covering at least a portion thereof with a material. Also disclosed is a method of testing an ultrasonic diagnostic system. The method includes the steps of transmitting a train of ultrasonic energy towards a phantom of the present invention, receiving a portion of the train of ultrasonic energy and analyzing the received portion.
