6 Image Acquisition
• Tissue Velocity Doppler Mode (TVD): This imaging mode provides direction and speed
information of the tissue.
• Tissue Velocity M Mode (TVM): This function assists to observe the cardiac motion through a
direct angle.
6.8.1 TDI Mode Image Scanning
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select [TDI] button to enter the TDI mode.
– In B or B+Color mode: to enter TVI Mode, parameters of TVI mode will be displayed.
– In Power mode: to enter TEI Mode, parameters of TEI mode will be displayed.
– PW mode: select [TDI] button and then select the PW mode button or [Update] button to
enter TVD. The parameters of TCD are displayed.
– M mode: select [TDI] button and then select the M mode button or [Update] button to
enter TVM. The parameters of TVM are displayed.
2. Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized images.
3. Select [TDI] button to exit from TDI mode and enter general imaging modes.
Or, select the B mode button to return to B mode.
6.8.2 TDI Mode Image Parameters
In each TDI mode, the parameters that can be adjusted are similar to those in the color flow modes
(Color, PW, and Power). See the relevant sections for details. The following introduces the specific
items in TDI mode.
Tissue State
This function is used for fast image optimization.
6.9 iScape View (Real-time Panoramic Imaging)
The iScape panoramic imaging feature extends your field of view by piecing together multiple B
images into a single, extended B image. Use this feature, for example, to view a complete hand or
thyroid.
When scanning, move the probe linearly and acquire a series of B images. The system pieces these
images together into a single, extended B image in real time. The system also supports out-and-
back image piecing.
After obtaining the extended image, you can rotate it, move it linearly, magnify it, add comments or
body marks, or perform measurements on the extended image.
The system provides a color iScape function, so you can get more information from extended
images.
• It is provided for reference, not for confirming a diagnosis.
• iScape panoramic imaging constructs an extended image from individual
image frames. The quality of the resulting image is user-dependent and
requires operator skill and additional practice to become fully proficient.
Therefore, the measurement results can be inaccurate. Exercise caution
