5-18 Image Optimization
Operation Complete the image optimization via <iTouch>.
HR Flow
Description
Enhance tiny vessel display to analyze the blood supply of the vessel in pathological
organ.
Operation
Tap [HR Flow] on the touch screen or press the user-defined key to complete the
adjustment ([HR Flow] is highlighted after it being enabled).
ART Flow
Description Enhance the blood sensitivity and penetrability in time period.
Operation
Tap [ART Flow] on the touch screen (the soft key is highlighted when the function is
enabled).
ART Flow Duration appears at the right bottom of the screen after the function is
enabled. The penetrability of color image is enhanced during this time period.
After ART Flow Duration is finished, the ART Flow interval appears at the right bottom of
the screen. The ART Flow is enabled again until the interval is finished.
Glazing Flow
This function applies glazing effect to the vessel flow, so as to make it more
stereoscopic.
Tap the [Glazing Flow] item on the touch screen.
Impacts
The color codes of the vessel velocity and power will change after the Glazing Flow
function is enabled. During diagnosis, users should exam the ROI without using the
Glazing Flow function. Otherwise, misdiagnosis may occur.
5.5 Power Mode Image Optimization
Power mode provides a non-directionally display of blood flow in the form of intensity as opposed to
flow velocity.
DirPower (Directional Power Mode) provides the additional information of flow direction towards or
away from the probe.
5.5.1 Power Mode Protocol
1. Select a premium image during B mode or B+ Color scan, and adjust to place the area of interest
in the center of the image.
2. Press <PD> to enter B+Power mode. Use the trackball and <Set> to change position and size of
the Region of Interest (ROI).
3. Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized images.
4. Perform other operations (e.g. measurement and calculation) if necessary.
