5.11 iScape View (Real-time Panoramic
Imaging)
The iScape panoramic imaging feature extends your field of view by piecing together multiple B
images into a single, extended B image. Use this feature, for example, to view a complete hand or
thyroid.
When scanning, you move the probe linearly and acquire a series of B images, the system pieces
these images together into single, extended B image in real time. Besides, the system supports
out-and-back image piecing.
After you obtain the extended image, you can rotate it, move it linearly, magnify it, add comments
or body marks, or perform measurements on the extended image.
The system also provides color iScape function, so that you can get more information from
extended images.
iScape imaging is an option.
iScape panoramic imaging constructs an extended image from
individual image frames. The quality of the resulting image is user-
dependent and requires operator skill and additional practice to
become fully proficient. Therefore, the measurement results can be
inaccurate. Exercise caution when you perform measurements in the
iScape mode. Smooth even speed will help produce optimal image
results.
Color iScape images are provided for reference only, not for
confirming a diagnosis.
Tips:
iScape is an optional.
The display of the biopsy guideline is not allowed in iScape mode.
5.11.1 Basic Procedures for iScape Imaging
To perform iScape imaging:
1. Connect an appropriate iScape-compatible probe. Make sure that there is enough coupling
gel along the scan path.
2. Press on the control panel to enter iScape (To acquire color iScape image, please
enter iScape mode from B+Power mode):
3. Optimize the B mode (Power mode) image:
In the acquisition preparation status, touch [B] ([Power]) page tab to go for the B mode (color)
image optimization. Do measurement or add comment/body mark to the image if necessary.
4. Image acquisition:
Tap [iScape] page tab to enter the iScape acquisition preparation status. Tap [Start Capture] or
press <Update> on the control panel to begin the acquisition. For details, please refer to
―5.11.2 Image Acquisition‖.
The system enters into image viewing status when the acquisition is completed. You can
perform operations like parameter adjusting. For details, please refer to ―5.11.3 iScape
Viewing‖.
5. Exit iScape:
Press <B> button to return to B mode.
