5-38 Image Optimization 
  Reset Curve 
To reset the volume rotation, shifting and zooming to its original status. 
Reset Curve  To reset the curve to its original status. 
To reset the volume to its original orientation and original parameters. 
  Render Mode 
Gray/Inversion 
Surface 
Function: set Surface as the VR rendering mode. 
This is useful for surface imaging, such as fetus face, 
hand or foot. 
Tip: you may have to adjust the threshold to obtain a clear 
body boundary. 
Max. 
Function: set Max. as the VR rendering mode. Displays 
the maximum echo intensity in the observation direction. 
This is useful for viewing bony structures. 
Min. 
Function: set Min. as the VR rendering mode. Displays the 
minimum echo intensity in the observation direction. 
This is useful for viewing vessels and hollow structures. 
X-ray 
Function: set X-ray as the VR rendering mode. Displays 
the average value of all gray values in the ROI. 
X Ray: used for imaging tissues with different internal 
structures or tissues with tumors. 
The above four rendering methods can be applied to both gray and 
inversion modes. 
Where inversion means to invert the grayscale of the image, so as to 
enhance observation for low-echo regions, applicable for vessels, cysts, 
etc. 
When the function is turned on, the rendering mode parameters change 
to the corresponding inverse parameters. 
Rotate an Image 
The system supports the following rotation modes: 
  Axial rotation 
  Auto rotation 
  Axial rotation 
Axial rotation rotates the currently activated image around the X-, Y- or Z-axis. 
  Procedures 
a)  Select the current image. 
b)  Rotate the corresponding knobs to make the image rotate: 
  To rotate along the X-axis: rotate the <Scale> button on the control panel 
clockwise and the image rotates right along the X-axis. Rotate the button 
counter-clockwise and the image rotates to the left. 
  To rotate along the Y-axis: rotate the <Baseline> button on the control panel 
clockwise and the image rotates right along the Y-axis. Rotate the button 
counter-clockwise and the image rotates to the left.
