Navigation type 3 displays the pressurization stability .
If the pressurization strength on the right and left sides of the transducer differs the elastic image coloration will
be uneven .
Navigation type 3 displays the pressurization strength on the right and left sides of the transducer . Change the
transducer angle and repeat the pressurization/relaxation to achieve a horizontal line and display the evenly col-
ored elastic image .
Stable Interval
Stable interval display is a function which displays the interval by assuming continuous pressurization has been per-
formed to achieve stable pressure .
When On is selected for the stable interval setting, part of the Cine bar turns green to indicate the stable interval at
the moment the display is frozen .
Searching the stable interval within Cine makes it easier to find the best image for the diagnosis.
IMPORTANT •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• A stable interval assumes stable pressurization has been performed . Not all intervals are appropriate for the diagno-
sis .
• During pressurization or inappropriate pressurization (excessive distortion or lateral movement of the cross-section)
images that are unsuitable for diagnosis may be selected .
• When pressurization is intermittent (i .e . heartbeat, etc .) stable intervals may be undetectable .
