5-102 Image Optimization
Effects The bigger the level is, the higher the smooth effect achieves.
Persistence
Description
This feature is used to superimpose and average adjacent elasto images, so as to
optimize the image.
Operations Tap [Persistence] on the touch screen to adjust the parameter.
The bigger the value is, the higher the frame optimization effect achieves.
The persistence function can remove image noise and optimize image effect to gain
a more detailed image.
Map Position
Description This feature is used to adjust the up/down position of the map.
Tap [Map Position] on the touch screen to adjust the parameter.
When the E Average function is enabled or disabled, the elasto curve is displayed
based on different statistical amounts.
Lesion
Description It is used to distinguish elastography data of the different lesion region.
Operations Rotate the knob under [Lesion] on the touch screen to adjust.
Select/Bad
Description It is used to remove the desired frame from stress curve. The removed frame will not
be calculated in STQ indices.
Operations
Rotate the knob under [Select/Bad] to select the desired frame, and press the knob
to set the desired frame to “On”.
5.15 Stress Echo
Stress Echo is an option.
CAUTION:
Stress echo data are provided for reference only, not for confirming
diagnoses.
5.15.1 Overview
The Stress Echo feature allows you to capture and review cardiac loops for multiple-phase (multiple-
stage) Stress Echo protocols.
Stress Echo data consists of Stress Echo loops, wall motion scores, and all other information pertaining
to the Stress Echo portion of a patient examination.
A loop is a clip that displays the motion of an entire heart cycle, or from the beginning systole to the end
systole, as indicated by the R-wave of the ECG trace and determined by the QT – Time Table.
