While in Contrast (CEUS), the softkey OLEDs display options specific to contrast imaging. 
 
Contrast Control 
Description/Use 
Softkeys OLED 
controls 
While CEUS is active, the Softkeys at the back of the console contain the 
optimization and navigation controls specific to CEUS Imaging and affecting the 
CEUS image only. 
Pressing OLED #1 toggles through multiple pages of controls. 
CEUS Submodes 
Similar in concept to Color Doppler (CD) Submodes, this control allows user to ONLY 
change the CEUS mode without resetting the preset or making any changes to other 
controls. Numeric value displayed onscreen is the ‘received’ frequency. 
NF: Nonlinear Fundamental  
H: Second Harmonic 
SUB: Sub Harmonic  
Turn dial to toggle to different selections.   
Multi-parameter, Contrast Agent specific settings to make optimization easier and more 
efficient. 
Three selections provide a balance between frame rate and detail resolution. Only 
reference image is affected. 
HQ: High Quality   
Gen: General 
Fast: High Frame Rate   
Stopwatch 
Start/Stop, 
Reset/Phase 
Press to start or stop the stopwatch. 
When the stopwatch is in the stopped state the  adjacent softkey will reset the timer to 
zero. 
When the stopwatch is in the running state the adjacent softkey has a “phase” function to 
support multiple phases of contrast.  Up to 4   phases can be displayed with this control 
Frame Rate 
Reduces the imaging frame rate, allowing for increased contrast agent concentration 
between imaging frames. 
Frame rates down to 0.1Hz are  supported. 
Mix  On/Off control to display a mixed transparency of the contrast image overlaid on the 
reference B-mode image. 
Power  Controls the acoustic output power of the contrast image. 
Raising or lowering the power will affect contrast agent destruction and therefore 
contrast agent effect. 
Flash  Temporarily increases the delivered power, rupturing the contrast bubbles thereby 
clearing the contrast effect (not available in cardiac). 
Turning the dial adjusts the length of the flash and pressing the dial initiates the 
flash. 
Flash Link 
This control links the Flash and Clip Store functions. 
When set to ON, if the Flash OLED is pressed, the system will begin by storing the flash 
frame followed immediately by the clip duration set on the Clip Type OLED in the same 
clip. 
When set to OFF, the Flash OLED will behave independently from the Store function. If 
the Flash OLED is pressed, the system will increase power to the image for the 
predetermined time set on the Flash OLED.   Store must be manually pressed.
