A smaller step size produces more EKV time points, which makes image acquisition
l
take longer and results in a more detailed 4D-Mode image. This is typically useful for
detailed evaluations of structures.
A larger step size produces fewer EKV time points, which makes image acquisition
l
faster and results in a less detailed 4D-Mode image. This is typically useful for quick
evaluations of structure volumes.
Acquisition Type: Selects between Quick, Standard, and Presentation acquisition types.
o
Process Style: Selects between Sharp, Standard, and Smooth process styles.
o
Frame Rate: Selects between 100, 200, and 300 Hz frame rates.
o
Scan: Starts the scan. This button displays the total number of 4D steps, and the estimated
o
time it will take for the system to complete the scan.
Note:
settings in that they are optimized to produce high-quality renderings as
quickly as possible.
9. Tap Scan. The system begins the scan and displays progress information at the bottom of the image
display.
Note:
starting 4D-Mode, only a single average focal zone is displayed on the
image display.
When the scan is complete:
The acquired 4D-Mode image is loaded into review, and the Review Setup panel is shown.
o
An overlaid faded one-cycle ECG trace is displayed on the Physio panel on the image display.
o
The ECG is the only trace displayed.
The system repositions the transducer to its original position.

10. After processing and reviewing frames in the 2D view, tap Load into 4D. The 4D-Mode image is
opened in the 4D-Mode four pane view.
11. Manipulate the data as needed using the 4D-Mode controls.
12. Tap Save Clip to save the data for later use.
4D-Mode Image Display
When in 4D-Mode, the Image Display displays a four-pane interface after you tap the Load into 4D button.

Note:
The default step size is based on the resolution of the
transducer array.
EKV Mode settings in 4D-Mode differ from standard EKV Mode
