Doppler 403™ & Mini-Doppler 404™ Flow Phantoms
Ensure years of consistent QC measurements and high quality diagnostic imaging
- Collaboratively designed to better serve your needs
- Go from storage to use in less than 10 seconds
The Doppler 403 and Mini-Doppler 404 Flow Phantoms are second generation devices based on the proven, original designs, and developed with ongoing customer input.
- Precision pulsatile flow mode allows you to reliably test system velocities
- HE (High Equivalency) Gel™ is patented and proven
- Helps ensure all transducers and system settings are fully tested across the entire frequency range from 2 to 18 MHz
- Response of attenuation-to-frequencies over 8 MHz supports accurate axial resolution and penetration depth representative of human tissue1,2

Sono Transducer Holder securely holds a transducer in a precise location to help you perform reproducible QC tests.
From routine QA to education and complex research
Doppler 403 Flow Phantom
- The gold standard in Doppler Ultrasound QA
- Measure axial & lateral resolution from the surface to 16 cm deep
- Ideal for cardiology and musculoskeletal (MSK) applications
- Measure small parts resolution
- Lightweight at less than 10 lbs. (4.6 kg)
The Sono Transducer Holder Accessory fits any Gammex phantom including the Sono Family and Doppler Flow phantoms.
- Place a transducer in a precise location in the holder for reproducible tests over time
- Support the transducer cable with the cable hook
- New blood mimicking fluid formulation
- Represents laminar and parabolic flows (velocity-dependent)3
- Increased viscosity and decreased Reynolds number
- No need to ever purchase or store blood mimicking fluid
- Rugged, self-contained, battery-operated
- Easy to use—turn it on, push a button & start testing
- HE Gel can be rejuvenated and your phantom re-validated any time to strengthen your investment
- Exceed ACR, ECR, AIUM and other program requirements
- When combined with the flow controller
The Doppler 403 Flow Phantom is used to test the Doppler color flow velocity measurement.

Rejuvenation Will Protect Your Investment
Our Doppler Flow and Sono (B-Mode) phantoms are the only ultrasound phantoms on the market that can be rejuvenated and re-validated. Implementing a rejuvenation program can extend the life of the phantom to 10+ years.
