7. Performing an Exam
This chapter describes the procedures commonly used in performing patient
exams with
MyLab
. These procedures include entering patient and application
data, acquiring images, making measurements and calculations; annotating
and reviewing images.
SS
Read the “Safety and Standards” manual carefully: all the safety
characteristics, cautions and warnings listed there apply to all exams.
MyLab
is designed for operators who are qualified in using ultrasound systems.
Only physicians or sonographers who are qualified in using ultrasound
systems should perform ultrasound scanning on human subjects for medical
diagnostic purposes.
NOTE
The operator must be familiar with the mechanical and thermal indexes
display as well as know the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
principle. The patient must be exposed to ultrasound for as short time as
possible and only for as long as it takes to achieve the diagnostic
information.
Starting an Exam
At power-up, at end of the initialization phase, or when starting every new
exam, the system displays the Patient ID screen and the touchscreen is
configured to allow the operator to enter patient and application data, and to
select the probe, the application and the preset.
CAUTION
Do not turn the system off during the initialization phase: the hard disk
could be damaged by this operation.
