Assessment of ultrasound image quality in a reference phantom using gel and liquid standoff pads

Background: and Methods: This paper presents a review of image quality in ultrasound imaging when using gel and liquid standoff pads, compared to imaging without a standoff pad. Imaging metrics assessed are lateral resolution, nearfield target intensity, and contrast to noise ratio of echogenicity t...
