4D Color Flow acquisition
NOTE: The 4D Color Flow acquisition can also be started using the 4D
Zoom prepare acquisition mode (see ‘4D Zoom prepare
acquisition’ on page 6-13).
Real time single beat 4D Color flow acquisition
Color Flow can be enabled in 2D mode before entering
4D mode or when in 4D mode.
1. Select a 4D probe and a cardiac application.
2. While in 2D, press Color.
3. Optimize the image quality (Gain, Depth, TGC... etc.).
4. Use the trackball to adjust the position and size of the color
ROI as necessary. Alternatively,
5. Press 4D on the Control panel.
NOTE: If the color ROI position is not optimal, press MultiD on the
Control Panel.
6. Press Store.
Tissue structures may obscure relevant flow information. If
required, increase Tissue transparency setting.
Color flow data may obscure other relevant color flow
information (e.g. jet). If required adjust Flow transparency
setting.
In some settings the volume rate can be less than 10 volumes
per second. This may lead to small display mismatch between
the color and tissue data. This is because of the rapid
movement of structures (e.g. valves) compared to the time lag
between the tissue and the color volume acquisitions. Tissue
data should only be used as guidance for the localization of the
flow data.
