In MFE status, patient should lie down and hold breath, and transducer should be kept
still.
5.12.6 Contrast Imaging QA
Contrast Imaging QA images are provided for reference only, not for
confirming a diagnosis.
Contrast Imaging QA adopts time-intensity analysis to obtain perfusion quantification information of
velocity flow. This is usually performed on both suspected tissue and normal tissue to get specific
information of the suspected tissue.
1. Perform image scanning, freeze the image and select a range of images for analysis; or select
a desired cine loop from the stored images.
Images from the current scan session (already in freeze mode) or from a saved image
loop can be used.
2. Tap [Contrast QA] on the touch screen page to activate the function.
3. Mark out the interested part (ROI).
If necessary, perform curve fitting on the time-intensity curve.
4. Analyze the parameters of the curve, or perform B measurement.
5. Save the curved image, export the data and do parameter analysis.
5.12.6.1 Contrast QA Screen
(For reference only)
1---Contrast cineloop window
Sample area: indicates sampling position of the analysis curve. The sample area is color-
coded, 8 (maximum) sample areas can be indicated.
2---B Cineloop window
Sample areas are linked in the contrast cineloop window and B cineloop window.
