6 - 28 Operator’s Manual
6 Image Acquisition
Set [Dual Live] to be “On” to activate the dual live function. Observe the tissue image to find
the target view.
4. Inject the contrast agent, and set [Timer 1] at “ON” to start the contrast timing. When the timer
begins to work, the time will be displayed on the screen.
5. Observe the image, use [Pro Capture] and [Retro Capture] button to save the images.
Press the Freeze button to end the live capture.
Perform several live captures if there are more than one interested sections.
6. At the end of a contrast imaging, set [Timer 1] at “OFF” to exit the timing function.
Perform steps 3-6 if necessary.
For every single contrast imaging procedure, use [Timer 2] for timing.
If necessary, activate destruction function by setting [Destruct] at “ON” to destruct the micro-
bubbles left by the last contrast imaging; or to observe the reinfusion effect in a continuous
agent injecting process.
7. Exit contrast imaging.
Press the B mode button to return to B mode.
6.14.3 Image Parameters
When entering contrast imaging mode, the screen displays the contrast image, and if [Dual Live]
item is “ON”, both the contrast image (marked with “C”) and tissue image (marked with “T”) are
displayed (the two window position can be changed).
The parameters in Contrast mode are similar to those in B mode. See B mode imaging parameters
for details. Special imaging parameters are introduced below.
Timer
The starting time displayed may be inconsistent with the actual one due to system error or some
other man-made mistakes; please check the agent-injecting time.
The two timers are used to record total time of contrast imaging and single time of one contrast
exam.
After the image is frozen, Timer 1 is still timing, and after unfreezing the image, the corresponding
time can be seen.
Timer 2 stops timing when one contrast exam is frozen, and after unfreezing the image, the Timer 2
is off.
Set [Timer 1] as “ON” to start the timing at the moment you inject the contrast agent. Here, the
screen displays the times at the lower corner.
Micro-bubble Destruction
Use the contrast imaging according to the residual level of the micro-bubbles,
using contrast imaging continuously may result in human harm.
Destruct the micro-bubbles left by the last contrast imaging; or to observe the reinfusion effect in a
continuous agent injecting process.
