5.14.3 STQ Imaging (Sound Touch Quantification)
The STQ imaging is an option. Probes support this function:
L11-3U, L14-6WU, L14-5WU, L9-3U, SC5-1U, C5-1U, SC6-1U probes support the STE imaging.
5.14.3.1 Basic Procedures for the STQ Imaging
1. Select a proper probe. Perform 2D scan to locate the lesion.
2.
Tap [Elasto]→[STQ] on the touch screen. Or, press the user-defined key (set the user-defined key via
[Preset]→[System]→[Key Config]) to enter the STQ imaging mode.
3. Adjust the ROI based on the lesion size and the position.
4. Press <Update> to generate the acquisition. Place the probe still with stable force (not pressing,
sweeping or moving the probe) to acquire the image. Adjust the B image parameters to obtain a
premium image.
The stress curve shows at the bottom of the screen after entering the real-time acquisition.
The following indices display besides end of the curve in real-time:
Elasto modulus inside the ROI of the current frame;
The mean value, maximum value, minimum value, SD value of shear velocity;
Depth value of the active elasto modulus.
