Introduction
This user guide supplement does the following:
• Updates acoustic output information for the S Series™ ultrasound system
• Describes
SonoMBe
™ multi-beam imaging, enhanced
(MBe), available on the following
transducers:
• C60x/5-2 MHz
• HFL38x/13-6 MHz
• HFL50x/15-6 MHz
• L25x/13-6 MHz
• L38xi/10-5 MHz
Imaging
2D imaging
WARNING: To avoid incorrect needle placement when MBe is on:
• Using movement and fluid injection, verify the needle-tip location and trajectory.
MBe enhances linear structures within a selected angle range on the ultrasound
plane. Linear structures outside the selected angle range or the ultrasound
plane
—
such as a bent needle
—
may be less apparent.
• Note that linear structures are enhanced only in an outlined portion of the image.
The area outside the outline remains unchanged. (See Figure 2 .)
• Note that the beam divergence of a curved array transducer may prevent a
segment of the needle shaft from showing in the image. (See Figure 3 .) The needle
tip may not show.
