The MyLabX9 is an ultrasound system designed for advanced operations, including various imaging modes, measurement capabilities, and archiving functions. It supports a range of clinical applications and offers customizable settings for user workflow.
Function Description:
The MyLabX9 provides comprehensive ultrasound imaging capabilities. It supports B-Mode for two-dimensional imaging of body organs, M-Mode for displaying tissue motion over time along a single vector, and Doppler modes (Pulsed Wave and Continuous Wave) for information concerning the velocity of moving tissues and flows. Color Flow Mapping (CFM) and Power Doppler (PD) are also available, presenting fluid motion as a color-coded overlay on B-mode images.
Advanced features include:
- Annotations: Allows users to place comments and arrows on images to identify anatomical structures and locations. These can be free text or pre-defined comments from a configurable glossary. Annotations can be inserted in real-time, freeze mode, during measurements, and in exam/archive review.
- Bodymarks: Provides schematic drawings of anatomical sections with a vector overlay to indicate probe position. Bodymarks are organized by application and can be activated in real-time, exam review, and archive review.
- Acquisition Protocols: Enables users to define sequences of actions to support procedures, ensuring standardized examinations. Protocols can include setting acquisition modes, selecting and storing frames, performing measurements, managing annotations, and saving clips.
- Security: Offers access control to the system and archive data, allowing only authorized users with passwords. It supports administrator and user accounts with different capabilities. The system also includes protection measures against malware and firewalls for network security.
- Remote Service: Allows Esaote service personnel to remotely access the MyLab for interaction with the user and system, primarily for testing purposes.
- Needle Guides: Supports optional kits for needle-guided insertion procedures, displaying a guideline on the ultrasound image to show the anticipated needle path. This feature is active in B-Mode and CFM.
- QPack (Quantification Curves): Provides capabilities to evaluate time/intensity curves of Doppler or CnTI signals within the organ under examination, useful for contrast-tuned imaging.
- Screen Sharing and MyLab Remote: Allows replication of the MyLab screen content on external devices for observers, either by connecting a second monitor (physical or smart clone) or by streaming video over a network to remote computers, smartphones, and tablets. MyLab Remote also enables external remote control of the ultrasound scanner.
- VPan: Facilitates the acquisition of B-Mode images on extended surfaces by composing consecutive frames side by side to reconstruct the whole surface.
- HyperDoppler: A tool for investigating intra-cardiac flows by processing Color Doppler (CFM) clips and ECG traces to understand cardiac physiological or pathological states.
