Image Optimization 5-41
5.12.2 Image Acquisition
To create an iScape image, start with an optimized 2D (color) image. The 2D image serves as the
mid-line for the resulting iScape image.
1. Tap [Start Capture] or [Update] to start the iScape image capture.
2. Scan slowly to obtain a single extended field of view image. You can also erase and retrace if the
image is not satisfactory.
3. End image capture:
To end the image capture:
Tap [Stop Capture], or,
Tap [Update], or,
Tap [Freeze], or,
Wait until the acquisition completes automatically.
After the acquisition is completed, the panoramic image will be displayed and the system enters
iScape viewing mode.
Tip:
During image acquisition, none of the parameters are adjustable, and functions such as
measurement, comments and body marks are not available.
ROI: a green box on the image indicating the boundary between the merged images and
the unfinished images.
Tip on the probe speed: 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:
Moving speed of the probe is too low.
Moving speed of the probe is too high.
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.
