Continuous capture with additional image acquisition
After acquiring Continuous capture, additional images can be
stored to the clipboard before the patient's heart rate decreases
toward recovery level. These additional images may be
acquired with other scanning modes (using the same probe
and application), before doing image assignment to the views:
1. Perform Continuous capture as described above (steps 1
to 10).
2. Press
PROTOCOL twice on the control panel. Live scanning
is activated.
If the buffer is not filled up: press
PROTO.IN/OUT on the
softkey menu. Live scanning is activated outside the stress
protocol.
If the buffer is filled up: press Select later in the
Continuous capture selection screen. Live scanning is
activated.
3. Perform the additional acquisition (e.g. Color flow,
Doppler). Images will be stored outside the protocol.
4. In order to resume the stress echo exam and assign loops
for the views from the Continuous capture buffer, press
PROTOCOL.
5. Press on the Continuous capture icon on the lower left
corner of the Protocol screen.
The Continuous capture selection screen is displayed.
6. Assign the cineloops to the views (see page 211).
A dialogue window is displayed asking whether the entire
Continuous capture acquisition should be saved or not.
7. Press Delete to discard the loop
OR
Press Select later if you want to reselect any loops (open
the capture again from the Protocol screen).
OR
Press Store all to keep the entire acquisition.
The normal procedure is to discard the acquisition. The
loop is very big and will take a lot of disk space.
8. Perform Analysis and scoring (see page 213).
Postponed image assignment
The assignment of the cineloops to the views can be done on a
later stage on a stored Continuous capture acquisition.
1. Perform Continuous capture as described in "Running
