Mindray Consona N9 - Mass Measurement; Cine Review; STE Imaging (Sound Touch Elastography)

8 - 2 Operator’s Manual
8 Elastography
Invert
Invert the E color bar and therefore invert the colors of benign and malignant tissue.
Display Format
Adjust the display format of ultrasound image and the Elasto image.
The system provides 3 types of display format:
• H 1:1: Right and left display (the real-time ultrasound image appears on the left, and the elasto
image appears on the right);
• V 1:1: Up down display (the elasto image appears above, and the real-time ultrasound image
appears below).
• Full: The elasto image only displayed.
Map
Select different maps for observation.
Strain mode
Affect the display effect of adjusting dynamic range.
Dynamic Range (Dyn Ra.)
Adjust contrast resolution of an image.
The real-time dynamic range value is displayed on the image parameter area in the upper left corner
of the screen.
The more the dynamic range, the more specified the information, and the lower the contrast with
more noise.
E Sensitivity
Increase the image palpability.
The higher the sensitivity, the higher the image palpability.
Strain Scale
Adjust the bar height of the pressure hint curve to keep the average height of the hint bar on proper
position.
Map Position
Adjust the up/down position of the map.
8.1.3 Mass Measurement
Press <Measure> to enter measurement status.
You can measure shell thick, strain ratio, strain-hist, etc.
For details, see "Advanced Volume".
8.1.4 Cine Review
Press <Freeze> or open an elastography imaging cine file to enter cine review status.
8.2 STE Imaging (Sound Touch Elastography)
Keep the probe still to produce the elastography image in real-time STE mode. The tissue hardness
of the mass can be determined by the image color and brightness. Besides, the relative tissue
