Do a 4D functional check. The 4D and Multi-plane Imaging manual explains how to use the 4D
function. The manual is included on the Vivid 7 Manual CD.
Follow these steps to test the basic 4D functionality:
1.) Select the 3V probe.
2.) Create an examination.
3.) Press 4D on the Operator Panel. The 4D Volume Rendering screen is displayed.
4.) Adjust the Width control so that the structure of interest is within the scanning volume.
1.) Volume rendering display from cut-plane 1 (yellow).
The volume rendering may be adjusted by rotating and translating the cut-plane 1.
2.) Cut-plane 2 (white): 2D image in the azimuth plane.
3.) Cut-plane 3 (green): 2D image in the elevation plane.
4.) Geometric model: displays a three-dimensional model with cut-planes position and
orientation.
5.) Color coded cut-plane markers indicate the other cut-planes position relative to
the displayed cut-plane.
6.) View direction marker.
7.) Soft menu controls.
