Registration
Accuracy in
CD
For CD scanning of Gammex Model 1425A Doppler Flow Phantom with a sound
speed of 1540 cm/sec, the registration error between CD and 2D mode is
generally less than 1.0 mm.
PW Doppler
Velocity
Measurement
Accuracy
While CD gives an indication (at many points simultaneously) of the presence or
absence of flow and its dynamic behavior during the cardiovascular cycle, PW
Doppler provides a more precise quantification of flow velocity within the PW
sample volume.
Velocity
Accuracy in PW
Doppler
PW Doppler velocity measurements were calibrated using a Gammex flow
phantom with a small sample gate placed at the center of a diagonal flow tube and
a Doppler angle of 50°. Maximum flow velocity measurements generally fall within
±10% of the phantom's calibrated velocity readings for volume flow rates from
0.5-1.0 meters/sec.
Angle
Estimation
The precision of angle estimation is ± 0.5°. As with most electronically steered
systems, the major error in angle estimation occurs through operator error in
adjusting the angle calipers. Therefore, the operator should exercise care in the
use of the angle calipers to achieve accuracy in their placement.
OB Tables
Accuracy
All OB tables are implemented in software such that for the same input values, the
output values (e.g., gestational age in weeks and days) match exactly the tables
published in authoritative reference works.
All supplied OB tables have been verified independently by ZONARE test group.
The verification process involves manually entering each of the data points from
the source into the z.one system, and then verifying the output against that
expected based on the corresponding table reference work.
Diagnostic
Calculation
Accuracy
All vascular, OB, and GYN calculations are implemented using standard
geometric formulas and double-precision float point precision. The accuracy of the
displayed output should be limited only by the display format and precision.
The diagnostic calculation packages (e.g.,%stenosis) have been verified
independently by the
ZONARE test group. The verification process involves
manual entry of a set of randomly selected input values within the range of
possible input values.
Numeric
Display
Precision
For display on the LCD monitor, all measurements and calculation results are
generally rounded to a maximum of 2 digits after the decimal place. This policy
ensures consistency between measured quantities (e.g., distance) and calculated
values (e.g., area).
