eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging (EI) Selections

Selection Description
eSie Touch
Elasticity Imaging
Activates or deactivates the eSie Touch elasticity imaging feature.
Note: For systems without a touch screen, the selection is assigned to a button:
View Scale Adjusts the size of the live, dual image as a percentage.
 50% to 100%
Map Index
Cycles through the map index selections for gray scale and color maps.
 0 is the standard map
Map index 0 is the natural result of the strain estimation from the echo signal without
compensation for pre-compression (stress) or non-uniform stress applied by the user.
 1 is the normalized map
Map index 1 compensates for the potential that non-uniform stress is applied with the
transducer during scanning.
 2 is the inverse map
Note: For systems without a touch screen, use the scroll wheel and the LED panel controls to
adjust the settings.
EI Color Activates or deactivates the color map.
 Off deactivates the color map.
 1 applies a range of color to depict tissue stiffness from soft to hard.
 2 applies blue to depict harder tissue and red to depict softer tissue.
Note: For systems without a touch screen, the selection is on the LED panel.
Split
(Available only for systems with a touch screen)
Displays a 2D image and an elastogram.
Full
(Available only for systems with a touch screen)
Displays a full screen image.
Live Dual (Available only for systems without a touch screen)
When On is selected, displays a 2D image and an elastogram. When Off is selected, displays
a full screen image.

Elasticity Measurement Tools

Selection Description
Shadow When the shadow function is active, you can make a measurement on either the left image or
the right image. The system then duplicates and displays the measurement on the other
image.
Strain Ratio Calculates the ratio of average strain (stiffness of tissue) within two user-selectable regions of
interest.
