Using Multi-plane mode
1. Select a 4D probe and a cardiac application.
2. Press Multi D on the control panel.
The Bi-plane screen is displayed.
3. Press Tri-plane or Bi-plane on the control panel to activate
the corresponding mode.
4. Adjust the angle increment between the scan planes, or the
overall rotation (see page 6-41).
5. If in Bi-plane mode, adjust the scan plane 2 tilt angle (see
page 6-42).
6. To activate another scanning mode:
• Press Color to activate CF mode.
• Press TVI to activate TVI mode.
• In TVI mode, press either TSI, Tissue Tracking, Strain
or Strain rate to activate alternative tissue Doppler
modes.
NOTE: To start 4D acquisition, select one of the 4D acquisition
presets on the Touch panel (Medium, Large or 4D Zoom
prepare).
7. Zoom in the structure of interest (see page 6-42).
NOTE: Scan plane rotation or tilting cannot be done when in zoom
mode.
8. Press Store to save the acquisition.
Bi-plane prepare
Bi-plane prepare is a 4D scanning mode intended to be used for
entering Bi-plane from within a 4D acquisition. The trackball is
used to position two cut-planes according to structures that are
visualized in the volume rendering. Pressing Bi-plane on the
Touch panel enters the Bi-plane acquisition mode, keeping the
cut-planes shown in the 4D mode, but with higher resolution and
frame rate.
