Chapter 1: Introduction Before servicing the M-Turbo ultrasound system, please read this manual. The information applies only to the SonoSite M-Turbo ultrasound system product manufactured after December 5, 2007. The ultrasound system has multiple configurations and feature sets. All are described in this service manual but not every option may apply to your system.
Chapter 2: System Overview About the System The SonoSite M-Turbo high-resolution ultrasound system is a portable, full featured, general purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system using all digital architecture. The system is used to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound data in 2D, M Mode, Pulsed Wave (PW) Doppler, Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler, Color Power Doppler (CPD), and color Doppler (Color) or in a combination of these modes.
Theory of Operation The M-Turbo ultrasound system has seven (7) major functional groups: • Transducer • Acquisition Subsystem • Processing Subsystem • Display Subsystem • Control Subsystem • User Interface Subsystem • Power Subsystem Figure 2.1 is a system block diagram that shows the relationship of the functional groups.
The Display Subsystem converts the detected ultrasound data into picture elements (pixels). The software user interface graphics are combined with the ultrasound information and converted to a video stream. The external video port supports NTSC and PAL format. The Control Subsystem consists of the central processing unit, program and video memory, permanent image storage and retrieval memory, external communication interface ports, and connection to the user interface keys.

Color In color Doppler, a real-time, two-dimensional cross-section of blood flow is displayed. The Doppler 2D cross-section may be presented as a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, sector, or a full (Color) circle, depending on the particular transducer used. The 2D cross-section is presented as a full color display, with various colors being used to represent the velocity, both positive and negative, of the blood flow echoes.
Pulsed Wave PW provides a real-time representation of blood flow and is displayed as a (PW) Doppler velocity-versus-time sweeping output. Velocity (or frequency) is presented as the vertical axis with time along the horizontal axis. The magnitude of the detected signal is represented as different gray scale values.
