THI Turns Tissue Harmonic Imaging on
and off.
When on, THI appears in the upper
left-hand screen. This feature
depends on transducer and exam
type.

MBe Turns on SonoMBe imaging, which enhances linear structures within a selected angle
range and can facilitate needle guidance during catheter placement and nerve-block
procedures. A three- or four-sided outline indicates the affected area. (See
For curved array transducers, MBe can help identify the direction of the needle,
although only segments of the needle shaft may show in the image. (See
Use movement and fluid injection to help verify the needle-tip location.
Use a 17-gauge to 25-gauge needle (recommended). Enhancement results can
depend on the type and brand of needle used. For more information, consult the
medical literature on needle visibility in ultrasound-guided procedures.
You can angle the needle up to 50° from the transducer surface. (See
50°, the needle may be less enhanced. (MBe has little or no benefit to out-of-plane
procedures. MBe is intended for in-plane procedures only.)
Avoid setting the gain too high, as unnecessarily high gain can cause artifacts in the
image. Also, respiratory and cardiac movement in the image may cause bright
pulsating artifacts.
When MBe is on, additional controls are available:
• L/R Flip flips the affected area (the outline) horizontally on the image.
For reorienting the entire image, use the orientation control
