Contrast Imaging
The two basic steps of contrast imaging are data acquisition and
quantification. Data acquisition is described in this chapter.
Quantification is further described in ‘Quantitative Analysis’ on
page 9-1.
Data acquisition
NOTE: This system is designed for compatibility with commercially
available contrast agents. Because the availability of these
agents is subject to government regulation and approval,
product features intended for use with these agents may not be
commercially marketed nor made available before the contrast
agent is approved for use. Advanced contrast features are only
enabled on systems for delivery in countries or regions where
the agents are approved for use or for investigational or
research use.
Appropriate training
Only physicians or echo technicians who have received
appropriate training can use the Contrast applications.
Always read and follow carefully the manufacturer instructions
on the contrast agent label.
Cardiac rhythm disturbances during cardiac studies using gas
ultrasound contrast agents have been observed in the
diagnostic range of Mechanical Index (MI) values. See the
specific package insert for the contrast agent being used for
further details.
