5.11 iScape
The iScape panoramic imaging feature extends your field of view by piecing together multiple
B images into a single, extended B image. Use this feature, for example, to view a complete
hand or thyroid.
When scanning, you move the probe linearly and acquire a series of B images, the system
pieces these images together into single, extended B image in real time. Besides, the
system supports out-and-back image piecing.
After you obtain the extended image, you can rotate it, move it linearly, magnify it, add
comments or body marks, or perform measurements on the extended image.
You can perform the iScape panoramic imaging feature on B (power) real time images using
all linear, convex, and phased probes.
CAUTION:
iScape panoramic imaging constructs an extended image from
individual image frames. The quality of the resulting image is user-
dependent and requires operator skill and additional practice to
become fully proficient. Therefore, the measurement results can be
inaccurate. Exercise caution when you perform measurements in
the iScape mode. Smooth even speed will help produce optimal
image results.
Tips:

iScape is an optional module.

The display of the biopsy guideline is not allowed in iScape mode
.
5.11.1 Basic Procedures for iScape Imaging
To perform iScape imaging:
