5.10.5.4 4D Image Saving
In 3D viewing mode, press the single image Save key (Save Image to hard drive) to
save the current image to the patient information management system in the set
format and image size.
Save clip: in 3D viewing mode, press the user-defined Save key (Save Clip
(Retrospective) to hard drive) to save a CIN-format clip to the hard drive.
Tip: After freezing a 4D image, press <Cine> to switch between cine auto-play mode and
manual mode.
5.10.5.5 3D/4D Fast Switching
In 4D real-time imaging mode, press <3D> to quickly switch to VR viewing status, where
you can obtain the same image of a better quality.
5.10.6 Smart 3D
The operator manually moves the probe to change its position/angle when performing the
scan. After scanning, the system carries out image rendering automatically, then displays
a frame of the 3D image.
Smart 3D is an option.
5.10.6.1 Basic Procedures for Smart 3D Imaging
In Smart 3D image scanning, if the probe orientation mark is oriented to the
NOTE:
operator's finger, perform the scan from right to left in linear scan, or rotate the
probe from left to right in rocked scanning. Otherwise, the VR direction will be
wrong.
To perform Smart 3D imaging:
1. Select the appropriate probe (non-4D probe) and exam mode. Make sure there is
sufficient gel on the probe for scanning.
2. Obtain a 2D image. Optimize the image as described in the Static imaging procedure.
3. Press <3D> to enter the Smart 3D imaging preparation status, and define the ROI as
well as the curved VOI.
4. Select a render mode.
5. Select an acquisition method, and set the corresponding parameters on the touch
screen.
Rocked mode: set [Angle] parameter.
Linear mode: set [Distance] parameter.
6. Press <Update> on the control panel to start the 3D image acquisition.
The system enters the 3D image viewing status when the acquisition is complete. Or,
end the acquisition by pressing <Freeze> or <Update> on the control panel.
In image viewing status, operations such as VOI setting and image editing can be
performed. For details, see "5.10.3.3 Static 3D Image Viewing."
7. Exit Smart 3D.
Press <Update> or <Freeze> to return to Smart 3D image acquisition preparation. Or,
press <B> or <3D> to enter B mode.
