11.1.5.1 Procedures for Smart3D Imaging
NOTE: In Smart 3D image scanning, if the probe orientation mark is oriented to the
operator’s finger, please perform the scanning from right to left in linear scan; or
rotate the probe from left to right in fan scanning; otherwise, the 3D image
direction is wrong.
To perform Smart3D imaging:
1. Select the proper probe and connect it to the ultrasound system. Make sure there is
sufficient gel on the probe for scanning.
2. Select the scanning probe and exam mode, and setup parameters if necessary.
For details, please refer to “11.1.3 3D/4D Setup”.
3. Obtain a 2D image. Optimize the image as usual.
4. Enter 3D/4D imaging acquisition preparation status:
