6 Working With Image Files
The Terason software provides many tools for you to work with acquired images. These
tools allow:
• Storing Images and Loops; see page 131
• Finding Stored Images and Loops; see page 136
• Managing Files; see page 141
• Editing Images and Loops on page 145
• Printing Images; see page 146
• Using Images with a DICOM Printer or Server on page 227
Storing Images and Loops
You can save acquired images either as individual image files, or as Cine loop files. To
store images and loops, you must understand:
• Monitoring Disk Space; see page 131
• Selecting File Types; see page 132
• Saving Images and Loops; see page 133
• Exporting a File; see page 135
By default, images and loops are saved in the Terason format and have a file extension of
.ult.
You can also copy the image in the 2D Image window by selecting
Edit > Copy Image (or
pressing the F4 key), and pasting the image into another application on your computer.
Monitoring Disk Space
You should be aware of the amount of free space on your C: drive (the default drive where
the application is installed). If the hard drive is full, the system cannot save files.
Many factors contribute to the size of an image file, such as the scan mode, measurements
or annotations, and image size. A single frame (a saved image) can range from 300 KB to
700 KB. An image loop can be from 2 MB to 18 MB.
The Terason Main Screen includes a display showing free disk space, next to the Image
Status indicator at the bottom of the screen.
