Small tilts or rotations of the transducer can affect the relationship between any external reference points
and the anatomy that appears on the ultrasound image.

Imaging modes and exams available by transducer
WARNING
The transducer you use determines which exam types are available. In addition, the exam type you select
determines which imaging modes are available. Depending on the configuration of your system, not all
transducers and exam types may be available,
To change the exam type
Do one of the following:
Press the Exam key, and select from the menu.
Imaging
To prevent misdiagnosis or harm to the patient, understand your system's
capabilities prior to use. The diagnostic capability differs for each transducer,
exam type, and imaging mode. Transducers are developed to specific criteria
depending on their physical application. These criteria include biocompatability
requirements. Understand the system's capabilities prior to use.
To avoid injury to the patient, use only an Ophthalmic (Oph) or Orbital (Orb)
exam when performing imaging through the eye. The FDA has established lower
acoustic energy limits for ophthalmic use. The system will not exceed these
limits only if the Orb or Oph exam type is selected.
