Does you service provider test them?How do they test them?Probably with a tissue equivalent phantom!

Tissue equivalent phantom will test:
Axial resolution – this is mainly affected by the speed of ultrasound or the pulse width.Lateral resolution – this is mainly affected by the beam width and the processing within the machine.
