Note Only support DICOM CT/MR/PET volume data, and cine format freehand
volume data.
The following CT/MR/PET volume data not accepted:
Slices less than 2;
Discontinuous or corrupted data;
Slice space not equal;
Slice distance is 0;
Data from varied alignment (tissue, plane);
The liver enveloped in CT/MR/PET/freehand volume data.
The registration effect will be better if the CT/MR/PET volume data already
bears the data of Contrast Imaging with the ultrasound image.
Acquiring Volume Data
Two methods to obtain volume data:
Method 1: acquiring volume data from network server.
Note:
It is only applied to the Ultrasound System that is configured with DICOM software
package. See also Chapter 2.4.3 Options.
The storage path should be short and clear for network server obtaining. Space or
Chinese character is not allowed.
1. Configure DICOM service. See also Chapter 11.1.2 DICOM Local Preset.
2. Configure Query/Retrieve service. See also Chapter 11.1.3.6 Query/Retrieve.
3. Load volume data to iStation. See also Chapter 11.3.6 Query/Retrieve.
Method 2: acquiring volume data from external storage medium.
1. Save volume data to USB disk, portable hard disk, optical disk, etc.
2. Press <F2 iStation> to enter the iStation page. Select from the drop-down list of the data source,
such as USB.
