The cardiac anthropomorphic ultrasound phantom is improved by the addition of two new features. An aorta with a bifurcation is molded into the torso via a 'lost wax' procedure. B-scan images of contrast medium and color-flow Doppler images show flow patterns typical of peripheral vessels in Doppler phantoms. In addition, three coronary arteries are attached to the external surface of the ventricle. Contrast injection of aerated water in the coronary arteries is easily visualized in real-time B-scan images. These two modifications of the cardiac anthropomorphic phantom may extend its usefulness for ultrasound quality assurance measurements and training programs in echocardiography.
