00:01:49,229
"Do you want to continue?"
30
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:50,562
by selecting OK.
31
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,114
Once the patient is entered,
32
00:01:55,114 --> 00:01:58,798
all saved images are
linked to that patient.
33
00:01:58,798 --> 00:02:02,013
Patient information can
be edited during the exam
34
00:02:02,013 --> 00:02:04,606
by pressing the Patient key,
35
00:02:04,606 --> 00:02:08,543
however, if the patient
name or ID number changes,
36
00:02:08,543 --> 00:02:11,298
a new patient is created.
37
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,003
If you have not already done so,
38
00:02:13,003 --> 00:02:16,257
select the exam type from
the secondary controls
39
00:02:16,257 --> 00:02:18,772
on the left of the image display.
40
00:02:18,772 --> 00:02:20,655
The exam choices available
41
00:02:20,655 --> 00:02:24,065
are dependent upon the
connected transducer.
42
00:02:24,065 --> 00:02:27,683
Selecting the exam type will
optimize the system settings
43
00:02:27,683 --> 00:02:30,899
for the clinical exam you have chosen.
44
00:02:30,899 --> 00:02:35,654
You may change the exam type
at any time during this study.
45
00:02:35,654 --> 00:02:38,875
The exam type symbol will
change in the top right corner
46
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:40,966
or the image display to indicate
47
00:02:40,966 --> 00:02:44,164
the exam type has been selected.
48
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:46,595
Use a coupling gel to remove any air
49
00:02:46,595 --> 00:02:50,839
between the transducer
face and the skin surface.
50
00:02:50,839 --> 00:02:53,665
Once you have located
the area of interest,
51
00:02:53,665 --> 00:02:57,771
adjust the depth of the image
to center the area of interest
52
00:02:57,771 --> 00:03:00,730
in the middle of the image display.
53
00:03:00,730 --> 00:03:04,013
For quick optimization of the
gain settings on the system,
54
00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:06,016
press the Auto Gain key.
55
00:03:06,016 --> 00:03:08,093
The system will evaluate the image
56
00:03:08,093 --> 00:03:11,963
and apply the appropriate
gain level settings.
57
00:03:11,963 --> 00:03:14,565
If you would prefer to
change the gain settings,
58
00:03:14,565 --> 00:03:16,832
turn the Gain knob to the Near,
59
00:03:16,832 --> 00:03:19,621
Far, or default Overall mode.
60
00:03:19,621 --> 00:03:22,447
This will increase or
decrease the amount of gain
61
00:03:22,447 --> 00:03:27,281
applied to the Near field, Far
field, or the Overall image.
62
00:03:27,281 --> 00:03:30,531
To toggle between gain
compensation selections,
63
00:03:30,531 --> 00:03:32,985
press the Gain knob.
64
00:03:32,985 --> 00:03:35,177
Once the desired image is obtained,
65
00:03:35,177 --> 00:03:37,063
you may freeze the image.
66
00:03:37,063 --> 00:03:39,713
At this point, you may save the image,
67
00:03:39,713 --> 00:03:43,380
review individual frames
in the cine buffer,
68
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:46,449
zoom the image,
69
00:03:50,752 --> 00:03:52,502
or take measurements.
70
00:03:55,397 --> 00:03:59,362
The cine buffer can be
accessed using the Gain knob.
71
00:03:59,362 --> 00:04:01,633
Turning the Gain knob counterclockwise
72
00:04:01,633 --> 00:04:04,309
reviews images retrospectively,
73
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:06,484
and moving the Gain knob clockwise
74
00:04:06,484 --> 00:04:09,220
reviews images prospectively.
75
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:11,546
The frame number will change dynamically
76
00:04:11,546 --> 00:04:14,691
as the Gain knob is manipulated.
77
00:04:14,691 --> 00:04:18,043
Press the Zoom key to
activate the touch pad
78
00:04:18,043 --> 00:04:21,685
to pan the image to the area of interest.
79
00:04:21,685 --> 00:04:25,441
A measurement may be
performed on a frozen image.
80
00:04:25,441 --> 00:04:29,229
Activate calipers by
pressing the Caliper key.
81
00:04:29,229 --> 00:04:31,450
Move the caliper to the point of interest
82
00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:33,367
by using the touch pad.
83
00:04:34,239 --> 00:04:36,321
To measure from the skin surface,
84
00:04:36,321 --> 00:04:39,825
place the caliper at the area of interest.
85
00:04:39,825 --> 00:04:41,647
An active measurement will be displayed
86
00:04:41,647 --> 00:04:45,651
in the bottom left corner
of the image display.
87
00:04:45,651 --> 00:04:47,844
To perform a linear measurement,
88
00:04:47,844 --> 00:04:50,206
place the caliper at the point of interest
89
00:04:50,206 --> 00:04:52,727
and press the Set key.
90
00:04:52,727 --> 00:04:55,489
Another caliper will be activated.
91
00:04:55,489 --> 00:04:57,567
Move the caliper to the point of interest
92
00:04:57,567 --> 00:04:59,900
to complete the measurement.
93
00:05:02,221 --> 00:05:03,961
Area measurements may be obtained
94
00:05:03,961 --> 00:05:06,294
by using the Ellipse Method.
95
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,385
If further image optimization is needed
96
00:05:17,385 --> 00:05:19,836
based on the patient's body habitus,
97
00:05:19,836 --> 00:05:23,342
select the 2D Optimization
feature on page two
98
00:05:23,342 --> 00:05:26,225
of the secondary controls.
99
00:05:26,225 --> 00:05:28,710
This feature automatically
adjusts features
100
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,877
such as focal zones, transducer
frequency, and bandwidth.
101
00:05:34,232 --> 00:05:37,578
Res provides the best resolution possible.
102
00:05:37,578 --> 00:05:41,740
Gen provides a balance between
resolution and penetration.
103
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:45,547
Pen provides the best
possible penetration.
104
00:05:45,547 --> 00:05:48,655
Color Doppler may be
used to quickly identify
105
00:05:48,655 --> 00:05:51,803
where blood flow is
located in a structure.
106
00:05:51,803 --> 00:05:54,865
Press the Color key to
activate Color Doppler
107
00:05:54,865 --> 00:05:57,328
or Color Power Doppler.
108
00:05:57,328 --> 00:05:59,833
A region of interest or ROI box
109
00:05:59,833 --> 00:06:02,664
will appear in the center of the screen.
110
00:06:02,664 --> 00:06:06,831
Use the touch pad to change
the position of the ROI box.
111
00:06:07,962 --> 00:06:10,413
The system settings for
color will be displayed
112
00:06:10,413 --> 00:06:13,679
in the top left corner of the screen.
113
00:06:13,679 --> 00:06:17,059
Use the Gain knob to adjust
the overall color gain level
114
00:06:17,059 --> 00:06:20,895
for Color Power Doppler or Color Doppler.
115
00:06:20,895 --> 00:06:22,838
When you freeze a color image,
116
00:06:22,838 --> 00:06:24,701
the Gain knob can also be used
117
00:06:24,701 --> 00:06:28,618
to review individual
frames in the cine buffer.
118
00:06:29,978 --> 00:06:33,395
Press the 2D key to return to 2D imaging.
119
00:06:34,662 --> 00:06:36,568
When you are ready to store your image,
120
00:06:36,568 --> 00:06:39,229
press the Save key to save the image
121
00:06:39,229 --> 00:06:41,847
to the internal storage.
122
00:06:41,847 --> 00:06:45,797
The capacity of the internal
storage is four gigabytes,
123
00:06:45,797 --> 00:06:48,380
or approximately 32,000 images.
124
00:06:49,644 --> 00:06:53,036
To save an image clip, press the Clip key.
125
00:06:53,036 --> 00:06:55,796
Clips are stored prospectively.
126
00:06:55,796 --> 00:06:59,359
The length of the clip can be
determined on the Clip menu.
127
00:06:59,359 --> 00:07:03,526
A clip length of two to 60
seconds can be selected.
128
00:07:07,013 --> 00:07:09,794
The clip may be reviewed by selecting List
129
00:07:09,794 --> 00:07:13,877
in the patient exam list,
and then pressing Play.
130
00:07:16,553 --> 00:07:20,004
When you have acquired all
images and clips for the study,
131
00:07:20,004 --> 00:07:23,451
press the Patient key and choose End Exam
132
00:07:23,451 --> 00:07:26,303
from the onscreen menu
to finalize the exam
133
00:07:26,303 --> 00:07:27,803
and end the study.
134
00:07:28,998 --> 00:07:32,068
This concludes this brief
review of imaging modes
135
00:07:32,068 --> 00:07:36,525
and system controls to
optimize the ultrasound image.
136
00:07:36,525 --> 00:07:39,901
