After you select the clinical option/preset, the system calibrates the transducer,
enables the transducer for operation, and updates system status to reflect
the transducer type and the preset you selected.
Imaging Modes
Your ultrasound system offers a set of imaging modes to accommodate a variety
of imaging applications. Some modes display a live grayscale image. Others are
Doppler modes to evaluate the amplitude or the direction of the blood flow and
the spectral information. Special modes are also available for Live 3D and
Panoramic imaging.
NOTE
Some modes are available on your system only if the corresponding option has
been purchased and installed.
Using 2D Mode
NOTE
With sector transducers, such as the S5-1, the top of the image does not
correspond to the skin line.
1. Touch 2D to start 2D imaging, if necessary. The ultrasound system turns on
in 2D mode, unless a CW Doppler probe is the only transducer connected.
2. Optimize the image using any of the following methods:
• To automatically optimize the TGC, dynamic range, and gain settings for
the current image, press iSCAN.
• To control the image brightness, adjust Gain.
• To select the area where the image will be most clearly focused, adjust
Focus and Focus Range.
• To optimize the transmit and receive frequencies and penetration and
resolution for the image, use 2D Opt.
• To compensate for signal attenuation, use the TGC and LGC controls.
