BS PD IEC/TS 62791:2015

BS PD IEC/TS 62791:2015 defines terms and specifies methods for quantifying the imagingperformance of real-time, ultrasound B-mode scanners. The types of transducers used (seesections 7.6 and 10.7 of [1]) with these scanners include

• phased array,
• linear arrays,
• convex arrays,
• mechanical sector scanners,
• 3-D probes operating in 2-D imaging mode (see Annex K),
• 3-D probes operating in 3-D imaging mode for a limited number of sets of reconstructed2-D images (see Annex K).

The test methodology is applicable for transducers operating in the 2 MHz to 15 MHzfrequency range.Cross References:IEC 60050-802IEC 61391-1IEC 61391-2:2010
