Annotation

Performing an Exam
If multiple transducers are connected when the system is turned on, the system selects the
transducer that was in use when the system shut down. You can select among the connected
transducers during system operation. If the system does not recognize a transducer, it will
switch back to the original transducer. Disconnect and reconnect the unrecognized transducer
or move it to a different receptacle.
You can select or deselect a transducer during live imaging without damaging the transducer or
the system.
1. Touch the transducer name to select it.
2. Touch the clinical application preset that you want to use.
After you select the clinical application/preset, the system calibrates the transducer, enables
the transducer for operation, and updates system status to reflect the transducer type and the
preset you selected.
Annotation
You can place text labels and arrows on an image to identify anatomical structures and
locations. You can also annotate an image with a body marker graphic that indicates the part of
the anatomy that you are scanning.
Trackball Functionality in Annotation
Use the touch screen to select annotation labels and body markers, and use the trackball to
position them on the imaging display. The trackball icon identifies the function available for
each trackball button as you add labels and body markers. When adding body markers the
following functionality is available:
• Left or right trackball button: Highlight and move body marker and the transducer icon.
• Middle trackball button: Set the position of the body marker and exit annotation mode. (To
reenter annotation mode, touch the Label tab.)
