Adding Text to an Image
Adding Text to an Image
There are two methods of adding text to an image:
Text: uses the TOOLS function key to open the text window.
Quick Text: once it has been turned on using the Setup menu, pressing
any alphanumeric key on the Cypress system keypad opens the text
window.
The following sections describe how each text method works.
Text
Text labels can be added to images while in Freeze or Active mode (i.e., any-
time except when doing calculations). There are two types of text that can be
placed on images:
Existing standard labels, for example, “Aorta” or “Left Ventricle.”
New text or annotations that are added using the alphanumeric keypad, for
example, “Check after 6 months.”
