5.10.10 Color 3D
Color 3D imaging provides more visualized flow information, especially in heart and kidney
application, which helps in observing cardiovascular diseases.
Color 3D is an option, which includes color Smart 3D, color STIC and color static 3D flow imaging.
Only probe D7-2E, D8-2E, D6-2NE, DE11-3E and DE10-3E support Color 3D(except color STIC)
imaging. And only probe D7-2E, D8-2E and D6-2NE support color STIC.
5.10.10.1 Basic Procedures for Color 3D
1. Enter into color 3D image acquisition preparation status:
(1) Obtain a feasible Power/Color image with the volume probe.
(2) Press to enter 3D/4D image acquisition preparation status.
2. Set the acquisition, displaying related parameters, select acquire mode.
3. Press <Update> to begin image acquisition.
4. After the acquisition is completed, the system enters into image view status; you can perform
operations like image edit and storage.
5. Save image as necessary.
5.10.10.2 Operation Controls
Function: you can choose to display only color images or gray scale images,
or to mix them.
Range: VR, MPR, 2D, C, 2D&C.
Function: to determine color information displayed on gray scale images.
Range: 0-100.
Function: to eliminate color noise and motion artifacts.
Range: 0%-100%.
Affects MPR as well as VR.
Function: to set the transparency value for VR rendering.
Range: 0%-100%.
Function: to smooth the Color image and erase artifacts by time averaging.
Range: 0-10.
Affects MPR as well as VR.
Function: to adjust mix percentage of gray scale information and color
information. When display format is 2D&C, you can adjust this parameter.
Range: 0-100%.
Operations are the same as those in the other modes.
2D related measurement can be performed on MPR. For details, please refer
to [Advanced Volume].
Tips: you cannot perform measurement on acquisition preparation status.
