6 Image Acquisition
Operator’s Manual 6 - 13
when you perform measurements in iScape mode. A smooth and even
speed will help produce optimal image results.
• 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.
6.9.1 Basic Procedures for iScape Imaging
Perform the following procedure:
1. Connect an appropriate iScape compatible probe. Make sure there is enough coupling gel
along the scan path.
2. Select [iScape] to enter iScape.
3. Optimize the B mode image:
In the capture preparation status, select the B mode page tab to select B mode image
optimization. Do measurement or add comment/bodymark to the image if needed.
4. Switch to [iScape] page to enter the iScape acquisition preparation status.
5. Select [Start Capture] or [Update] button to begin the capture.
The system enters into image review status when the acquisition is completed. You can
perform operations such as parameter adjusting.
6. 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:
Status ROI Color Tip
Speed too low Blue Moving speed of the probe is too low.
