Working with the Image
You can work with an image (measuring, resizing, etc.) using the touchscreen.
Selecting the Imaging Plane
If you are using a transducer with more than one plane, you can select the imaging
plane (
T for transverse, S for sagittal, or E for endfire). The current imaging plane
( T , S, or E ) is displayed at the top of the monitor next to the transducer name.
To select the imaging plane:
•
Press the appropriate button on the transducer. For details, see the user guide for
the transducer.
or
•
Tap T , S, or E on the touch screen.
NOTE:
When you change image orientation U/D, you may need to adjust the TGC
settings for the B-mode image. See “TGC” on page 67.
Freezing the Image
When you tap Freeze , all images on the monitor are frozen. A snowflake appears on
the monitor. If you tap Freeze again, the image returns to its previous state.
NOTE:
Some functions are not available when the image is frozen and some are
available only when the image is frozen. If a control you want to use is missing, try
freezing or unfreezing the image.
Partial Freeze and the Dual View Button
You can only do a partial freeze when you are imaging in Doppler mode as well as
one or more 2D modes (B-mode, color, and power) – duplex or triplex imaging. In
partial freeze,
either the Doppler image or the 2D-mode image is frozen. You can
toggle between the two images in a partial freeze.
To start partial freeze:
•
Tap the dual view button.
The partial freeze state starts with all 2D-modes frozen and Doppler mode
imaging.
While the partial freeze is active, tap the dual view button to toggle the display
between the 2 states, which are
•
Doppler mode frozen; 2D-modes imaging.
•
2D-modes frozen; Doppler mode imaging.
