5-24 Image Optimization
iTouch
To optimize image parameters as per the current tissue characteristics for a
better image effect.
Press <Gain/ iTouch> on the control panel to turn on the function.
Angle
This function is used to adjust the angle between Doppler vector and flow to
make the velocity more accurate.
The real-time adjusting angle value is displayed on the right part of the
spectrum map.
Click the <Angle> item on the image menu to adjust.
The adjustable angle range is -89~89°, in increments of 1°.
Quick Angle
To adjust the angle faster, in increments 60°, and the real-time value of which
is displayed on the right part of the spectrum map.
Click the [Quick Angle] item on the image menu.
There are 3 angles for quickly adjustment: -60°, 0°, and 60°.
5.9 Anatomical M Mode (Free Xros M)
Anatomical M Mode and Color Anatomical M mode images are
provided for reference only, not for confirming a diagnosis. Please
compare the image with that of other machines, or make diagnosis
using none-ultrasound methods.
For an image in the traditional M mode, the M-mark line goes along the beams transmitted
from the probe. Thus it is difficult to obtain a good plane for difficult-to-image patients that
cannot be moved easily. However, in the Anatomical M mode, you can manipulate the M-
mark line to move to any position at desired angles. The system supports anatomical M
scanning (including Free Xros M mode) in 2D imaging modes (B, Color and Power mode).
Shortcut key setting
You can preset a user-defined key for entering Free Xros M mode: [Setup] -> [System
Preset] -> [Key Config].
Free Xros M Imaging Procedures
1. In real-time 2D mode or M mode, adjust the probe and image to obtain the desired
plane.
Or select the desired 2D cine files.
2. Click [Free Xros M] on the image menu of the B mode to enter Free Xros M mode, or
press the user-defined key.
3. Adjust the M-mark line to obtain optimized images and necessary information.
In Dual-split or Quad-split mode, it is the current activated window that enters the Free
Xros M mode.
Free Xros M imaging is supported on frozen B image, B+M image and B+Power/Color
image.
