BS EN 61391-1:2006+A1:2017

This standard BS EN 61391-1:2006+A1:2017 Ultrasonics. Pulse-echo scanners is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.140.50 Electroacoustics

This International Standard describes methods of calibrating the spatial measurement facilities and point-spread function of ultrasonic imaging equipment in the ultrasonic frequency range 0,5 MHz to 15 MHz. This standard is relevant for ultrasonic scanners based on the pulse-echo principle of the types listed below:

• mechanical sector scanners;

• electronic phased-array sector scanners;

• electronic linear-array scanners;

• electronic curved-array sector scanners;

• water-bath scanners based on any of the above four scanning mechanisms;

• 3D-volume reconstruction systems.
