Description/

Benefit

Depth controls the distance over which the B-Mode images anatomy.

To visualize deeper structures, increase the depth. If there is a large part of the display which is unused at the bottom, decrease the depth.

B-Mode Gain increases or decreases the amount of echo information displayed in an image. It may have the effect of brightening or darkening the image if sufficient echo information is generated.

Increases the number of focal zones or moves the focal zone(s) so that you can tighten up the beam for a specific area. A graphic caret corresponding to the focal zone position(s) appears on the right edge of the image.

Auto Optimize (Auto) lets you optimize the image based upon a the actual B Mode image data (Auto Tissue Optimize, ATO). The preset levels (Low, Medium, and High) allow you to pick a preference for the contrast enhancement in the resulting image. Low does the least amount of contrast enhancement, high does the most.

Auto is available in single or multi image, on live, frozen or CINE images (in B-Mode only), and while in zoom, in Color Flow Mode, and in Spectral Doppler.

Auto in Color Flow Mode automatically adjusts the overall color gain.

If you find that the gain adjustment that is automatically performed consistently results in more or less gain than you expect, then the

Auto Optimize Adjustment allows you to adjust the result of the Auto feature (-5 to 5 range) so that the result more consistently matches your expectation.

Description/

Benefit

SRI-HD (Speckle Reduction Imaging High Definition) is an adaptive algorithm to reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the ultrasound image. Image speckle usually appears as a grainy texture in otherwise uniform areas of tissue. Its appearance is related to image system characteristics, rather than tissue characteristics, so that changes in system settings, such as probe type, frequency, depth, and others, can cange the appearance of the speckle. Too much speckle can impair image quality and make it difficult to see the desired detail in the image. Likewise, too much filtering of speckle can mask or obscure desired image detail. Extra care must be taken to select the optimal SRI-HD level. SRI-HD is available in B-Mode imaging and may be used with any transducer or clinical application when image speckle appears to interfere with the desired image detail.

CrossXBeam is the process of combining three or more frames from different steering angles into a single frame. CrossXBeam is available on Convex and Linear probes.

CrossXBeam combines multiple co-planar images from different view angles into a single image at real-time frame rates, using bi-cubic interpolation.

Harmonic imaging utilizes Digitally Encoded Ultrasound (DEU).

Coded Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small parts imaging as well as far field penetration.

Multi Frequency mode lets you downshift to the probe's next lower frequency or shift up to a higher frequency.

You can slant the B-Mode or Color Flow linear image left or right to get more information without moving the probe. The angle steer function only applies to linear probes.

On Linear and Sector probes, Virtual Convex provides a larger field of view in the far field. Virtual Convex is always active with Sector probes.

TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation caused by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are spaced proportionately to the depth. The area each pot amplifies varies as well. A TGC curve may appear on the display (if preset), matching the controls that you have set (except during zoom). You can choose to deactivate the TGC curve on the image.

You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to maximize the image's region of interest (ROI).

You can steer the sector angle to get more information without moving the probe while in B-Mode, M-Mode, Doppler Mode, and

Color Flow Mode. Tilt is not available on Linear probes.

Doppler Mode intensity valuations. Colorize is NOT a Doppler Mode.

NOTE: You can colorize realtime or CINE images or Timeline CINE, but not DVR images.

Colorizes the gray scale image to enhance the eye's discrimination capability. Spectrum Colorize colorizes the spectrum as a function of power using the inverse of the Colorize map for the signal intensity in each Doppler line. Colorize enhances the visibility of the spectrum's characteristics and enhances your ability to identify spectral broadening and the edge contours of the spectrum used to define the peak frequency/velocity.

The gray bar displays while Colorize is activated.

Flips the image 180 degrees up/down.

CAUTION: When reading a rotated image, be careful to observe the probe orientation to avoid possible confusion over scan direction or left/right image reversal.

Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is a color flow mapping technique used to map the strength of the Doppler signal coming from the flow rather than the frequency shift of the signal. Using this technique, the ultrasound system plots color flow based on the number of reflectors that are moving, regardless of their velocity. PDI does not map velocity, therefore it is not subject to aliasing.

Clinical Measurement Accuracy

Basic Measurements

The following information is intended to provide guidance to the user in determining the amount of variation or measurement error that should be considered when performing clinical measurements with this equipment. Error can be contributed by equipment limitations and improper user technique. Be sure to follow all measurement instructions and develop uniform measurement techniques among all users to minimize the potential operator error. Also, in order to detect possible equipment malfunctions that could affect measurement accuracy, a quality assurance (QA) plan should be established for the equipment that includes routine accuracy checks with tissue mimicking phantoms.

Please be advised that all distance and Doppler related measurements through tissue are dependent upon the propagation velocity of sound within the tissue. The propagation velocity usually varies with the type of tissue, but an average velocity for soft tissue is assumed. This equipment is designed for, and the accuracy statements listed on are based on, an assumed average velocity of 1540 m/s. The percent accuracy when stated applies to the measurement obtained (not the full scale range). Where the accuracy is stated as a percent with a fixed value, the expected inaccuracy is the greater of the two.

Probe Overview

Probe handling and infection control

This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.

Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact.

Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact.

One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients.

CAUTION

Risk of Infection. ALWAYS clean and disinfect the probe between patients to the level appropriate for the type of examination and use FDA-cleared probe sheaths where appropriate.

CAUTION

Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.

For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED.

Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.

EZBackup and EZMove

EZBackup or EZMove allows you to manage hard disk space

(move images off the hard drive) while maintaining the patient database on the scanner, as well as to back up the patient database and images.

•

EZBackup: Copy the data from the local HDD to the

removable media.

•

EZMove: Copy the data from the local HDD to the

removable media. After copying the image file to the media,

EZMove deletes the image file from the Local HD.

HINTS

PLEASE READ THIS

Ensure that you have established a data management protocol for your office/institution. You MUST manage the backup media by keeping a log and by creating a media filing system.

For example, if you need to back up 500 MB/day, or 2.5 GB/ week, then you need to back up 5 CDs/week, or ~250CDs/ year.

Generally speaking, you should back up the system when you have 10 GB of images to back up.

You should assign the person who is in charge of performing the backups. Backups will vary by the volume of your work. You need to track how long it takes your office/institution to get to

10 GB, and set the back-up parameters accordingly.

Your office/institution needs to determine your backup strategy, for instance, backup weekly and move monthly. It should be an easy strategy to perform and to remember. And follow this same strategy/schedule consistently.

It’s also useful to keep your more recent information on the hard drive since it’s easier to recall that way.

CAUTION

You can still do a backup/move daily; but ALWAYS do a patient archive backup after each move.

CAUTION

Only cancel the backup/move in case of an emergency. The system completes backing up the current media and then cancels the operation.

When EZBackup requires more than one disk (CD-R or

DVD-R) for backup, a message appears when the first disk is full. If you select “Cancel” to stop the backup procedure and later try EZBackup again, all the data may not be backed up.

Select “Full Backup” on the first EZBackup wizard screen if the last time you were performing EZBackup you selected

NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove are saved data as RAW data. If you import data to the system, you can modify the image data.

NOTE: To display exported Raw DICOM images on a PC, you need the dedicated viewer.

NOTE: When backing up or moving reports using EZBackup and

EZMove, use the USB HDD. DVDs and CDs are not supported for backing up or moving reports using EZBackup and EZMove.

NOTE: “Archived” information is saved to each exam during EZBackup.

When you perform EZBackup, the system backs up the exams except for the archived exam.

NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove cannot span a single image across two (2) or more media. Therefore, if EZBackup/EZMove encounters an image that is greater than the capacity of the media, it skips the oversized image.

NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove does not store images to media in sequential order. Instead it maximizes the most amount of images per media.

NOTE: If the system locks up during the media auto format process, shutdown the system by holding down the power button and boot it up again. After the system is up, replace the media to a new one and execute EZBackup or EZMove again. To avoid data loss, do not reuse the failed media for any other function.

NOTE: If you try exporting a previously backed-up exam, the message

“Can’t Find Source file” displays. The image data had already been removed from the hard disk drive with EZBackup/EZMove.

EZBackup and EZMove (continued)

Basically, when you perform the EZBackup or EZMove procedure, you insert the media (or connect USB HDD if applicable), the system backs up/moves the images (or reports), and creates a reference between the patient database and the media’s volume.

NOTE: EZBackup/EZMove can take up to 20 minutes (or longer, depending on the size of the backup). Make sure to schedule this at the same time daily, when no patients are scheduled.

NOTE:

1. Prepare unformatted media or the USB HDD before starting

EZBackup/EZMove.

BEFORE starting the EZBackup, select “Unlock All” in Utility

--> Admin --> Logon.

2. Specify the EZBackup/EZMove setup on the Utility -->

Acoustic Output

CAUTION

Allowing the machine to transmit acoustic output with the probe not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to build up heat. Always lower the acoustic power or freeze the image when not in use.

Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor, the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM

Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic

Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Acoustic Output Display Specifications

The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI),

Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO) value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO value informs the user of where the system is operating within the range of available output.

The TI and MI are displayed at all times. The TI display starts at a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1 The MI display values between 0 and 0.4 increment in steps of 0.01 and for values greater than 0.4, increments in steps of 0.1.

Thermal Index

Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the

TI parameter will be one of three types:

•

Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft

tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in soft tissue.

•

Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the

focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

•

Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is

near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

Safety Precautions

Acoustic Output Display Specifications (continued)

Mechanical Index

MI recognizes the importance of non-thermal processes, cavitation in particular, and the Index is an attempt to indicate the probability that they might occur within the tissue.

Changing the Thermal Index Type

You can select the displayed TI type on Utility -> Imaging ->

B-Mode. This preset is application dependent so each application could specify a different TI type.

Display precision is ±0.1 and accuracy is ±50%. Accuracy of the power output displayed value on the Touch Panel is ±10%.

Controls Affecting Acoustic Output

The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.

Direct. The Acoustic Output control has the most significant effect on Acoustic Output.

Indirect. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls.

Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the

Bioeffects portion of each control in the Optimizing the Image sections.

Always observe the Acoustic Output display for possible effects.

HINTS

Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic

Output, such as Gain and TGC.

NOTE: Refer to the Optimizing the Image sections for a complete discussion of each control.

WARNING

Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for each mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic

Output control or any control that can effect Acoustic Output.

Acoustic

Output

Hazard

Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best diagnostic image or measurement during an examination.

Begin the exam with the probe that provides an optimum focal depth and penetration.

Acoustic Output Default Levels

In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output level, the LOGIQ S7 Expert/Pro initiates scanning at a reduced default output level. This reduced level is preset programmable and depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes effect when the system is powered on or New Patient is selected.

To modify acoustic output, adjust the Power Output level on the

Touch Panel.
