Note: For information on the installation, care, and operation of hardware components, refer to the
manufacturer's operating instructions that accompanied the device.
eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging Option
 Provides a qualitative representation of relative tissue stiffness for the region of interest
 Requires the 18L6 HD, 14L5, 12L4, 9L4, 6C2, 4C1, 6C1 HD, MC9-4, or EC9-4 transducer
eSie Strain Ratio Option
 At the time of publication, eSie Strain Ratio was not cleared for use by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. This feature is not enabled or available for use in systems sold in the
U.S.A.
 Requires the eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging Option
 Provides a quantifiable method to compare the relative stiffness of tissue within two user-
selectable regions of interest
