Setting the Scanning Direction
Set direction
carefully
You must select the scanning direction to match the direction that the transducer is
moving during acquisition. This is essential for making sure that the 3D volume is
reconstructed correctly.
Figure 20-9. 3D scanning directions.
Setting the Rest Position
The ECRM has 3 rest positions: Mid (default), Start and End. You set one of these
to specify the action of the ECRM when scanning takes place.
Table 20-2. The possible Rest Position settings for the ECRM.
ROI (3D Region of Interest)
The 3D region of interest (ROI) box defines the area that is captured with a 3D scan.
NOTE:
You cannot press
[

it and drag it with the trackball. Click to release the cursor when the box is where you
want it.
