Best practices while scanning
NOTE: Refer to the Optimizing the Image sections for a complete
discussion of each control.
Acoustic Output Default Levels
In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output
level, the Versana Essential initiates scanning at a reduced
default output level. This reduced level is preset programmable
and depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It
takes effect when the system is powered on or Patient is
selected.
To modify acoustic output, adjust the Power Output level.
Safety statement
GE safety statement
Although no harmful biological effects have been demonstrated
for ultrasound frequencies, intensities, or exposure times used
in examination with the GE system, GE recommends using the
lowest acoustic output settings which will produce diagnostically
acceptable information.
Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image
optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic
Output, such as Gain and TGC.
Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for
each mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic
Output control or any control that can effect Acoustic Output.
Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best
diagnostic image or measurement during an examination.
Begin the exam with the probe that provides an optimum focal
depth and penetration.
