Cardiac imaging
• Left Ventricular Contrast imaging : The LV Contrast and
LVO Stress applications are optimized for endocardial
border detection and assessment of wall motion and wall
thickening. LVO Stress is optimized for higher heart rates.
Both applications require the LVO Contrast option enabled.
Non-cardiac imaging
• Vascular Contrast imaging : optimized to visualize contrast
in larger vessels, e.g. carotid artery. Requires the Vascular/
Abdominal Contrast option enabled.
• Abdominal Contrast imaging : optimized to visualize
contrast agents in abdominal organs.
Left Ventricular Contrast Imaging
The Left Ventricular (LV) Contrast application has an optimized
system preset for optimal resolution of endocardial borders and
for optimal assessment of wall motion and wall thickening.
The LV Contrast application may help to identify LV thrombus
and evaluate wall motion.
CAUTION
The Vascular and Abdominal Contrast applications may not be
available on your system.
