Ultrasound Engine

Atlas

The ATLAS™ Test System was designed by Acertara for diagnostic ultrasound transducer manufacturing and development; including in-process probe testing, quality control, probe production final test, and engineering. A major design goal of ATLAS ™ was the ability to replicate the results of legacy test systems. ATLAS™ is flexible, expandable, and customizable.

Users have the ability to include or exclude operational modules from the final software package such as : re-poling, time-of-flight calculation methods, cross talk, and various other transducer acceptance criteria matrices. ATLAS™ is highly intuitive for both new users or those who have been previously trained to other array test systems.
