Abstract

The physician's need for standardization of ultrasonic instrumentation might appear to be too obvious a requirement to be worthy of further comment. Nevertheless, many engineers do not appreciate the extent to which the diagnostic process in ultrasound as currently practiced is dependent upon the subjective impressions of the interpreter and the variations that occur in similar models of the same machine or the drift in any single machine with time.
