Introduction
The Vivid S5/Vivid S6 ultrasound unit provides an integrated
stress echo package option, with the ability to perform image
acquisition, review, image optimization, and wall segment
scoring and reporting for a complete, efficient stress echo
examination.
The stress package provides protocol templates for exercise,
as well as, pharmacological stress examinations. In addition to
preset factory protocol templates, templates can be created or
modified to suit users' needs. Users can define various quad
screen review groups, in any order and combination, that will
suit their normal review protocol. When reviewing stress
examination images, the images are viewed at their original
image quality, and different post-processing and zoom factors
may be applied to the images under review for effective image
optimization. The protocol template may be configured for
Continuous capture.
A stress echo examination consists of three steps:
• Selection of a stress test protocol template (page 199)
• Image acquisition (page 200)
• Stress analysis (page 213)
