Changing Setups; Hiding The Doppler Velocity Minus Sign - Philips EPIQ 7 User Manual

System Setups Customizing the System
Setups are organized into five standard categories: System Settings, Analysis, Annotation,
Acquisition/Capture, and Data Security. An additional category, Setup Wizard, helps you
quickly prepare your system for use. Changes in setups take effect immediately and remain in
effect until you change them again or load setups from a DVD or USB device.
NOTE
The institution name exported with DICOM data always reflects the name shown in the setups
at the time the study ended. Philips recommends restarting the system after changing
Institution Name in the setups.
Procedures for using setup options and descriptions of settings are included throughout the
Help.

Hiding the Doppler Velocity Minus Sign

You can choose to include only the numeric value of the Doppler velocity measurements.
Doppler velocity is marked as negative (-) when the flow is moving away from the transducer.
When reporting on the measurements, you may want only the value, not the direction of flow.
When hidden, the negative sign does not appear on the displayed or printed patient reports;
however, the sign is still part of the number and is visible when editing a patient report and is
included in DICOM structured reports exported from the system.
The option to hide the Doppler velocity minus sign is available in all calculation packages except
Adult Echo and Pediatric Echo.
