NOTE:
1.
The measurement caliper should be positioned at the upper edge of the
target, not the middle nor the lower edge.
2.
The scanning plane should be vertical to the target line, that means the
scanning plane is parallel with the cross-section of the phantom
As shown in figure below.
NOTE:
1.
When using a linear probe, record the transverse distance by segment.
2.
When using a convex probe, all transverse targets should be displayed
integrally in an image.
3.
The measure caliper should be posited at the upper side or lower side of the
target center.
