again to exit the imaging, and

disappears from the screen.
NOTE
• The system automatically optimizes certain parameters (B-mode gain, frequency and frame rate) upon
enabling THI.
• Compared to the B-mode imaging, THI improves image resolution but decreases the frame rate. Therefore,
you should make an optimal balance when choosing an imaging mode.
• THI is only available with compatible probes.
11.1.5 Panoramic Imaging
Panoramic imaging is an imaging process that produces a panoramic image by using certain probes. The panoramic
image provides sequentially and individually aligned 2D images on a static image. The 2D images are real-time,
showing their anatomical context of an adjacent structure. Panoramic imaging allows you to display, view and
measure a new stitched image constantly.
NOTE:
• Panoramic imaging is only available performed with linear or curved probes.
• Apply an adequate amount of coupling gel along the intended path of the scan.
• Do not shake, rotate or tilt the probe during the scan.
• Ensure the probe remains to be in contact with the skin perpendicularly during the scan.
• Do not change the scan direction or move the probe backwards and forwards.
• When the scan depth increases, generally it is generally required to decrease the scan speed.
■ Real-Time Panoramic Imaging
Perform the following steps to apply panoramic imaging.
1. Optimize the B-mode image.
2. Tap
Panoramic+
on the touch screen to enter the inactivated Panoramic Imaging mode.
You can press the
Freeze
key on the control panel to exit and return to the B mode.
3. Press the
Update
key on the control panel to enter the real-time panoramic imaging.
4. Perform the scan.
A real-time stitched image is generated, on which a probe speed box and a hint are displayed. A blue speed box
indicates a slower scanning speed, a green speed box indicates a normal scanning speed and a red speed box
indicates a faster scanning speed.
5. Press the
Freeze
key to display the panorama.
