Performing an Exam
either when you capture or print an image, or when you end an exam, depending on your
selection for Send Images/Clips on the Acquisition/Capture tab in the Acquisition/Capture
setups.
Use the Freeze control to stop and start system image acquisition and update. Pressing Freeze
results in the system entering cineloop pause and assigning the trackball to manual cineloop
review (frame-by-frame).
During acquisition, a spinning hourglass icon appears at the bottom of the display. When the
capture is complete, a thumbnail of the image is displayed.
Do one of the following:
• To capture a single image, press Freeze, and then press Acquire 1 or Acquire 2.
• To capture a cineloop sequence, press Acquire 1 or Acquire 2 in live imaging or while
reviewing a cineloop sequence. Capturing during live imaging saves prospective or
retrospective frames, as specified in Live Capture Type in the setups. A prospective capture
captures a specified acquired loop length. A retrospective capture captures a specified loop
length that was acquired previously. A retrospective capture captures a loop that ends
when you press Acquire 1 or Acquire 2. Capturing while reviewing a cineloop sequence
saves all retrospective frames in the cineloop sequence.
You can configure the Acquire 1, Acquire 2, and touch screen print controls in the
Acquisition/Capture setups. The default setting is for Acquire 1 to capture single frames
when the image is frozen and to capture loops when the image is live. Acquire 2 captures
single frames, regardless of the imaging state. If an Acquire control is set to acquire a still
frame, you can use it to acquire the frame without freezing the image.
NOTE
When an image is captured, you will hear a beep to confirm that the loop or image was saved in
the patient's study. Do not press Review until you hear the beep.
NOTE
If you press Acquire 1 in a non-simultaneous mode while a live M-mode or Doppler trace is
active, you capture a cineloop sequence. If you press Acquire 1 in a simultaneous mode, you
capture a single image.
