Image Optimization 5-9
Adjust through [iClear] on the menu.
Tap [-] or [+] to change the level slightly or drag the control directly.
“off” represents no iClear effect, and the bigger the value the stronger the effect.
It may cause increased noise.
Persistence
This function is used to superimpose and average adjacent B images, so as to
optimize the image and remove noise.
Adjust through [Persistence] on the menu.
Tap [-] or [+] to change the level slightly or drag the control directly.
The system provides 7 levels of frame average adjustment: the bigger the value
the stronger the effect.
Persistence can remove image noise to make details clearer.
Increasing Persistence may lead to missing signals.
TSI (Tissue Specific Imaging)
The TSI function is used to optimize the image by selecting acoustic speed
according to tissue characteristics.
Select different TSI modes using the [TSI] control.
Echo Boost
This function can improve contrast and decrease noise, so that a much clearer
boundary can be seen.
Set [Echo Boost]to be “On” to turn the function on.
This function is only available using the phased probe in cardiac exam mode
(probe P7-3Ts does not support this function)
Patient Temperature
If the current active probe is P7-3Ts, the parameter will display under the B mode
menu. You can enter the patient temperature by this function.
Enter the temperature by tapping [Patient Temperature].
If the patient temperature is above 37 °C (98.6 °F) and the [Patient
Temperature] setting is below the actual reading, the system could
overestimate the temperature of TEE transducer’s distal tip. This
could trigger the Auto-Cool feature. If the patient temperature
reaches or is near 37 °C (98.6 °F) and the [Patient Temperature]
setting is above the actual reading, the system could underestimate
the temperature of the TEE transducer's distal tip. The patient is
exposed to excessive temperatures.
