6 Image Acquisition
Operator’s Manual 6 - 33
• Guidance and precautions for even movement:
– Make sure there is enough coupling gel along the scan path.
– Always move the probe slowly and steadily.
– Continuous contact is required throughout the length of the extended image. Do not lift
the probe from the skin's surface.
– Always keep the probe perpendicular to the skin's surface. Do not rock, rotate or tilt the
probe during the scan.
– The system accommodates a reasonable range of motion velocity. Do not make abrupt
changes in motion speed.
– Deeper scans generally require reduced acquisition speed.
• Needle mark cannot be displayed in iScape imaging mode.
6.11.1 Basic Procedures
Perform the following procedure:
1. Connect an appropriate iScape compatible probe. Make sure there is enough coupling gel
along the scan path.
2. Press the user-defined key for <iScape View> or tap [iScape] on the touch screen (it is
available after enter Power/Color mode).
3. Optimize the 2D mode image:
In the capture preparation status, tap [B] ([Power]/[Color]) page tab to go for the B mode
image optimization. Do measurement or add comment/bodymark to the image if needed.
4. Tap [Start Capture] or press <Update> on the control panel to begin the capture.
5. Scan slowly to obtain a single extended field of view image. You can also erase and retrace if
the image is not satisfactory.
– During image acquisition, none of the parameters are adjustable, and functions such as
measurement, comments and body marks are not available.
– A green box on the image indicating the boundary between the merged images and the
unfinished images.
– During image slicing, the system gives feedback on the probe’s moving speed in the form
of colors and words. The meanings are as follows:
6. The system enters into image review status when the acquisition is completed. You can
perform operations such as parameter adjusting.
7. Do one of following to end image capture:
– Tap [Stop Capture] on the touch screen.
– Press <Update>.
– Wait until the acquisition completes automatically.
Status ROI Color Tip
Speed too low Blue Moving speed of the probe is too low.
Appropriate Green /
Speed too high Red Moving speed of the probe is too high.
