EKV Mode Image Acquisition Workflow
Before You Begin
Ensure your ECG signal is between 200 and 996 BPM, and that respiration signals are active and
l
accurate.
Ensure you are using a transducer application that is compatible with EKV. For example, the
l
Phantom application is not compatible with EKV.
Note: EKV Mode requires physiological data to function. If the respiration signal
fails during acquisition, acquisition will stop and all data will be discarded.
A warning message is displayed on the control panel, with a Resume Scanning
button. Tap this button to resume scanning.
Note: EKV data takes up a lot of disk space. If there is less than 10 GB of space
available on the system when the EKV tab is opened, a warning will appear on the
EKV/PA EKV Acquisition Setup panel.
To Acquire an EKV Mode Image
1. Start a scanning session in a supported mode. The following modes support EKV Mode:
B-Mode
o
PA-Mode
o
2. Adjust any desired settings for the mode.
For PA-Mode, this includes selecting a supported sub-mode (Single, Oxy-Hemo, or Multi-
o
Wavelength) and pressing Start.
3. Tap Clip Settings, select the Save tab, and then select or clear the following check boxes as
needed:
a. Save EKV/4D data for post-processing: Select this option to save EKV/4D data when the
clip is saved. If this option is unchecked, the data will not be available for post-processing
once the clip is saved. This is set to off by default, as EKV data sets are very large.
b. EKV/4D Scan Completion: Select this option to automatically save the clip when the scan is
complete. This option will not save EKV/4D data if the Save EKV/4D data for post-
processing setting is not selected.
4. Once all settings are complete, tap Done.
5. Tap EKV.
Modes
Note: You can change the Save EKV data for post-processing for
each individual acquisition in the EKV post-processing panel.
