Image Quality Verification Test/Livescan
• Products with replaced subassemblies, or products that have been otherwise disassembled, must
undergo an Image Quality Verification Test/Livescan.
• The Image Quality Verification Test/Livescan should be performed after successfully completing all
applicable performance tests listed prior in this chapter.
• The test is completed before returning the system to service.
• A certified sonographer must perform the test.
• The Livescan test performed is at the discretion of the Sonographer and will represent their acceptance
of a successful service event.
• Review all saved images and verify that the images are displayed properly.
1
Connect any transducer.
2
Tap the Color button. A Region of Interest (ROI) box is displayed on top of the
grayscale image.
3
Tap the Color button to switch to CPD. "CPD" should be annotated in the top left
corner of the display.
4
Adjust the Depth control for minimum depth in the image.
5
Adjust the Gain control so that color speckles just appear inside the ROI box.
6
Gently tap the face of the transducer and observe that the ROI box fills with color
information.
1
Attach an rC60xi transducer and acquire an image.
2
Tap the M Mode button for the M Mode sample line.
3
Position the M Mode sample line over the image using the touchpad.
4
Tap the M Mode button again to turn on M Mode.
5
Select the desired sweep speed from the on-screen menu (slow, med, or fast). The
on-screen menu will show the selected sweep speed.
6
Tap the Freeze button to freeze the image. Save the image. Tap the Freeze button
again to return to live imaging.
7
Tap the 2D button to return to 2D imaging.
1
Attach the rC60xi transducer and acquire an image.
2
Set the depth to maximum and note the depth at which echo information is lost.
3
Tap the THI button on the screen controls so it displays THI in the mode area. Tissue
Harmonic Imaging in now active.
4
Observe a decrease in dot size and a significant loss in penetration due to the higher
frequency. Image resolution increases.
5
Tap the Freeze button and then save the image. Tap the Freeze button again to return
to live imaging.
6
Tap the THI button again to turn off Tissue Harmonic Imaging.
