Optimizing LV Contrast
The default setting for the LV contrast application is optimized
for contrast detection and not tissue imaging. Therefore, with
some patients it may be difficult to orient the probe before the
contrast agent arrives. In this case we recommend to stay in
the Cardiac application until the contrast agent is observed in
the right ventricle and quickly switch to the LV Contrast
application.
If a swirling pattern is observed and persists after the LV cavity
has been filled with contrast, the power should be reduced until
homogenous opacification is obtained
CAUTION
Too high Power setting will destroy the contrast agent in the LV
cavity.
