5.10.3.4 Image Saving and Reviewing in Static 3D
Image saving
In the 3D viewing mode, press the single image Save key (Save Image to hard drive) to
save the current image to the patient information management system in the set format
and image size.
Save clip: in 3D viewing mode, press the user-defined Save key (Save Clip (Retrospective)
to hard drive) to save CIN-format clip to the hard drive.
Image review
Open an image file to enter the image review mode. In this mode, you can perform the same
operations as what you can do in VR viewing mode.
5.10.3.5 Color Static 3D (Color 3D)
The system also supports color Static 3D flow image function. For details, please refer to ―5.10.10
Color 3D‖.
5.10.4 4D
4D provides continuous, high volume acquisition of 3D images. During the scanning, the probe
performs the scanning automatically.
Image acquisition operations of 4D are basically similar with that of Static 3D, the only difference is:
in static 3D mode, only a single frame 3D image captured, while in 4D mode, continuous, high
volume acquisition of 3D images are provided.
4D imaging is an option.
Only probe D7-2E, D8-2E, D6-2NE, DE10-3E and DE11-3E support 4D imaging.
5.10.4.1 Basic Procedures for 4D Imaging
1. Select the proper probe and exam mode; make sure there is sufficient gel on the probe for
scanning.
2. Obtain a 2D image, and optimize the image if necessary.
3. Press to enter 4D imaging mode.
4. Adjust ROI size and position and the VOI. The operations are same with these in static 3D mode.
To define a ROI, please try to cut the useless data as to reduce the time for image storing, processing
and reconstruction.
5. Select a render mode, set quality and angle parameters.
6. Press <Update> to enter the 4D imaging mode.
7. Press <Freeze> on the control panel to freeze the image. Do image cutting, rotation, annotation,
image saving if necessary.
8. Exit 4D.
Press <Update> to return to 4D image acquisition preparation;
Or, press <B> or key to enter B mode.
5.10.4.2 4D Acquisition Preparation
Parameters are the same as that of Static 3D, for details; please refer to ―5.10.3.2 Static 3D
Acquisition Preparation‖.
