Item Functions
[Navi Type]
Select the Display method of the guide display for checking the pressurization state
• [O]: No display
• 1: Display the time variation of the strain
• 2: Display the repetition tempo score for pressurization and relaxation
• 3: Display the pressurization stability
[Navi Position] Select the Display location of the guide display to check the pressurization state
[Color Map]
[Color Map L(U)]
Select the Color Map of the Left or Upper screen in the Single and Split-screen displays
Stronger coloration in the upper color map indicates softer tissue. Stronger coloration in the lower
map indicates harder tissue.
[Color Map R(D)] Select the Color Map of the right or lower screen in the Split display
[Color Oset]
Select the color level of elastography image
• The smaller the value the stronger the blue color: the larger the value the stronger the red color.
[Color Range]
Select the elastography image color range
• The smaller the value the stronger the color contrast.
[E Frequency]
Select the frequency for Elastography-mode
• [eGen] : For general purpose
• [ePen] : For penetrated part
[E Invert] Color display inversion
[E Density]
Select the scanning line density
• The scanning line density increases in the order [L] < [M] < [H] reducing the frame rate.
[Comp. Speed]
Select the pressurization speed
• The larger the value, the higher the frame rate. A higher frame rate is required to match a higher
pressurization speed.
[E Time Avg.]
Select the Time Avg. strength
• The larger the value the smoother the time variation of the elastography image.
[Spatial Avg.]
Select the Spatial Avg. strength
• The larger the value the smoother the spatial variation of the elastography image.
[Rejection]
Select the strength for removing the noise frame
• The larger the value the greater the noise reduction.
[Equalization]
Select the strength for homogenizing uneven pressurization of the elastography image
• The larger the value the greater the contrast is enhanced/unevenness of the elastic image is ho-
mogenized.
[Blend Ratio]
Select the blending ratio for the elastography and B-mode images
• The larger the value the greater the composition ratio of the elastography image.
[Stable Section]
Switches the stable pressurization interval display in Cine data
• Analyzes the most stable pressurization state in Cine data and displays it on the Cine bar in the
freeze state.
• If there is no continuous stable pressurization interval no stable interval is displayed.
• When a frame inside the stable interval is selected the following display changes.
- The Cine numbers are displayed in green.
- The green frame is displayed in pressurization state navigation.
• The approx. 1-second stable interval is displayed.
