the lung consolidation and pleural effusion occur at the same time, it is marked as C/P in
the brackets and the score is 3.
–Dist n (B Line distance): indicates the distance between the 2 neighboring lines and is
measured in the pleura line area, among which, n corresponds to the number between the
2 B lines.
– Avg Dist (B Line average distance): indicates the average distance of all B lines.
According to the quantitative index calculated by the system, you can add image and diagnosis
information. Tap the check box under the [Findings] or [Diagnosis] tab to select items:
6. Press the <Save+> key to save the single-frame image and B line calculation results.
If necessary, press the <Freeze> key again to unfreeze the image. Repeat steps 4-6 to finish
calculating other points.
7. Tap [Report], and select report type from the drop list box of [Report Type] to check report.
For details about report operation, refer to "Advanced Volume".
6.12.2 Overview
After capturing images, tap [Overview] to enter the Overview screen. The Smart B-line supports
displaying two types of lung overviews in the main screen. You can switch the two lung overviews
using the corresponding buttons on the touch screen.
• Image Map: Displays the ultrasound images of all zones, so as to check the overall lung
condition. Ever lung zone displays the ultrasound image with the highest percent of the B line
area by default.
If a zone saves multiple ultrasound images, tap the point corresponds to this zone, and tap
[Prev Item] and [Next Item] to switch the image.
• Color Map: Displays the color map of the lung and ultrasound image of a zone. The color map
uses different colors to mark the ultrasound image analysis result of every lung zone. This
analysis result is calculated from the ultrasound image with the highest percent of B line area.
Tap a point on the touch screen to check the calculation result of the zone related to this point.
6.13 RIMT (Real-time Intima-Media Thickness)
This function is used to calculate the thickness of the carotid intima automatically.
• It is merely available to enter RIMT imaging mode in B single window and dual window when
adopting linear probe for carotid exam.
• Do not press the probe after entering RIMT imaging mode when scanning the image in real
time.
• RIMT inside ROI is highlighted in red, yellow and green. There is no gap between the filling
area and the vascular wall. The green color indicates the normal acceptable value. The red
color or yellow color indicates the abnormal unacceptable value.
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select the probe first. Perform B mode in carotid exam mode. Detect the patient’s carotid in B
mode. Keep the acoustic beam vertical with the anterior and the posterior of the vascular and
make the anterior and the posterior of the intima visible at the carotid stenosis to obtain a
premium image.
