Selecting a Transducer On the drop-down menu, select the transducer that you will use for imaging. Only transducers properly connected to the system appear on the list.

Selecting an Examination Type The examination type configures your monitor for imaging. An examination type consists of a Pro Package (predefined monitor settings) and a Preset (predefined image processing settings). The names of the examination types indicate where they are best suited: urology, gynecology, and so on. NOTE: Pro Packages are indicated by brighter white text. Yellow text indicates the

selected Pro Package and Preset (Uro Prostate and Prostate M in this picture). Pro Package Defines monitor setup such as tabs, screen controls, measurements, labels, bodymarks, reports. Yellow (Uro Prostate) indicates the chosen Pro Package.

Preset Defines settings for image processing such as transducer frequency, gain, etc.

NOTE: A measurement that is set up for one Preset in a Pro Package will be available

in all Presets for that Pro Package. Accessing other Pro Packages

If you need access to measurements or functions available in other Pro Packages, you can click the Pro Package name instead of a Preset name. This will not affect the image setup itself. The list of Pro Packages displayed depends on which transducers are connected to the system. If the Pro Package you need is not listed, click Pro Package...

2. Choose from the list of other Pro Packages for additional measurements, labels, etc.

Most on-screen controls are grouped and displayed as screen keys on the appropriate workflow tabs. You can click a tab to see its controls.

Advanced By default, only the controls relevant for the situation are displayed. Click Advanced to display all available controls for any of the tabs. NOTE: Advanced must be on to access Customize, which is where you configure

settings as described in “Setting Up and Customizing Your System” on page 213.

The Image Tab The Image tab is on top when you start to image. Imaging mode subtabs for the Image tab

Screen keys on the Image workflow tab are grouped on various imaging mode tabs, visible at the top of the workflow tab. Click on an imaging mode tab to open it and see and use its keys. NOTE: If an imaging mode tab is active, but its tab is not on top, click the tab to open

it and use its keys. If you click the imaging mode tab that is on top, you turn off that imaging mode. The imaging mode subtabs for Image are: • • • •

General: controls for B-mode Color: controls for color mode and power mode Doppler: controls for spectral Doppler mode M-mode: controls for M-mode.

NOTE: An imaging mode tab (for example, M-mode) is available only when the

examination type is set up to include that mode. Capturing a 3D data set is initiated by the 3D key on the keyboard or by the 3D controls on the Image tab.BB1946-R

3D Tab 3D images

Viewing and manipulating a 3D data set can be considered virtual imaging – an additional step in the workflow. When you have captured or recalled a 3D data set, a 3D workflow tab appears. It may be divided into 2 subtabs, which appear at the top of the tab area, similar to imaging mode tabs. For information about 3D imaging, see Chapter 11, “3D Imaging” on page 167.

Measure and Mark Tab The Measure and Mark tab opens when you freeze the image. It contains controls for the measurements and annotations that are set up for the examination type. More

Down arrows indicate lists

The down arrow on the right of a screen key indicates that clicking the key opens a menu to choose from. NOTE: The More screen keys are only visible when Advanced is on.

Figure 2-3. The More screen keys on the Measure and Mark tab. Redefining Screen Keys

Accessing any measurement label, or bodymark screen key

If the Measure and Mark tab does not contain a screen key you need, you can redefine one of the screen keys. (See Appendix D, “Redefining Screen Keys – Label, Bodymark, and Measurement”.) You can access any measurement from any measurement screen key. To access any measurement: 1 Click Advanced. 2 Click the circle in the top right corner of a key to open the Key Definition Menu and click the word(s) that name the measurement, not the circle next to it. (See Appendix D, “Redefining Screen Keys – Label, Bodymark, and Measurement”.) This is handy for a measurement that is used only occasionally. You can do the same thing for label and bodymark screen keys.

Documentation Tab After acquiring the image and making measurements, use the Documentation tab for saving, reviewing, or deleting the images and reports you made.

Keyboard Tab On systems with touch control panels, you can select a keyboard tab to display a full keyboard panel on the lower part of the monitor. Keyboard panel opens when you need it

You can press any active button or slider on the monitor as needed. When a box opens that requires you to enter text, for example Patient ID information, the keyboard panel opens automatically. Type the information that is required, and then press another workflow tab to close the keyboard panel.

Using two keys at the same time

When using a physical keyboard, you may need to use two keys at one time for certain results. For example, pressing Shift and A results in an upper-case A. For the same result on the on-screen keyboard, you press the keys one at a time: first Shift,
