6 Image Acquisition
Operator’s Manual 6 - 5
The function is disabled for wireless probe.
V 1:1
This function is to display images in vertical format in the dual-split mode. After the feature is
enabled, one image appears above, and the other image appears below.
In the dual-split mode, tap [V 1:1] to enable this function.
Only linear probes support this function.
Dehaze
This function can restrain noise, so as to enhance the contrast resolution of the image.
Tap the [Dehaze] item on the touch screen to adjust the value.
LGC
Adjust the gain along the scan line to improve the lateral resolution of the image.
Tap [LGC] to enter the adjusting dialogue box.
The 8 rods displayed on the touch screen indicate the corresponding image areas on the main
screen.
Tap the slider to adjust the gain, move downwards to decrease the gain, while move upwards to
increase the gain.
In addition, the system provides several preset parameters for imaging.
Patient Temperature
If the current active probe is TEE probe, the parameter will display under the B mode menu. You
can enter the patient temperature by this function.
If the patient temperature is above 37°C (98.6 °F) and the [Patient
Temperature] setting is below the actual reading, the system could
overestimate the temperature of TEE transducer’s distal tip. This could
trigger the Auto-Cool feature. If the patient temperature reaches or is near
37 °C (98.6 °F) and the [Patient Temperature] setting is above the actual
reading, the system could underestimate the temperature of the TEE
transducer's distal tip. The patient is exposed to excessive temperatures.
VA Grid
The VA Grid consists of a 0.5*0.5 cm grid on the image. After estimating the vessel diameter,
select an appropriate catheter according to the catheter model and diameter displayed on the right
side of the screen.
Needle Enhancement
It is used to help enhance th
e needle visualization when the needle display is not clear.
Tap the [Needle Enhancement] item to adjust the value.
6.2 Color Mode
The Color mode is used to detect color flow information, and the color is designed to judge the
direction and speed of blood flow.
