– Tap [Table display] to check parameters:
You can set range for the fit curve. After the range is set, the system displays fit curve within
the range only. Use the trackball to the time-intensity curve to move the frame marker position.
a. Set starting point of the fit curve: Use the trackball to select the starting time and tap [Set
Fit Start].
b. Set end of the fit curve: Use the trackball to select the end time and tap [Set Fit End].
7. Rotate the knob under [X Scale] on the touch screen to choose different value, so that the X
scale display manner will be changed.
This function can be used to track detailed tissue information.
8. Save the curved image, export the data and do parameter analysis.
a. Tap [Export] on the touch screen.
b. Select the drive and enter the file name in the displayed window.
c. Select [OK] to save the data and return to the QA Analysis screen.
All displayed ROI traces are saved in the exported file.
The parameters are included in the trace file if the user has fixed a ROI.
After the exporting is succeeded, a .BMP format image is displayed in the thumbnail area
of the screen.
Only data from the user selected image range is included in the exported trace file.
9. Tap [Contrast Imaging QA] to exit Contrast QA.
9.5 M-Ref. C&E
This function is used to display planes of Contrast images and STE images in real time. Based on
the matching information, the system acquires Contrast images and STE images of the same plane
respectively in turn and displays them at the same time. Also, it performs synchronous quantitative
measurement to acquire Contrast imaging intensity and Young's Modulus of the lesion in the same
region.
Item Description
GOF (Goodness of Fit) Calculate the fit degree of the curve; range: 0-1, where 1 means the fit
curve fits the raw curve perfectly.
BI (Base Intensity) Basic intensity of no contrast agent perfusion status.
AT (Arrival Time) Time point where contrast intensity appears, generally, the actual
time value is 110% higher than the base intensity.
TTP (Time To Peak) Time when the contrast intensity reaches peak value.
PI (Peak Intensity) Contrast peak intensity.
AS (Ascending Slope) Ascending slope of contrast, the slope between the start point of
lesion perfusion to the peak.
DT/2 Time when the intensity is half the value of the peak intensity.
DS (Descending Slope) Descending slope of the curve.
AUC (Area Under Curve) To calculate the area under the time-intensity curves during contrast.
MTT (Mean Transition
Time) The mean time which a red blood cell (microbubble) needs to flow
through the tissue mass.
