Virtual Touch IQ

Caution:

Using the appropriate amount of scanning pressure is an important factor in achieving

reliable and repeatable results with Virtual Touch IQ.

Minimal

mild

compression is

recommended for best results. Excessive pressure on the body with the transducer may

artificially elevate shear wave velocities and result in unreliable measurements.

Caution:

In breast applications of Virtual Touch IQ, shear wave imaging may have limitations in

adequately visualizing regions of very high stiffness, for example, in certain breast cancers.

Siemens recommends using the Quality image display setting to verify that the shear wave

velocity and elasticity image represents adequate shear wave formation. Shear wave velocity

and elasticity measurements should be made only in regions with high shear wave quality,

represented in green when the Quality image display setting is selected.

Caution:

In lesions where multiple or extensive areas of low shear wave quality are

encountered, shear wave velocity and elasticity estimates in the lesion should be interpreted

with caution.

Note:

Measurement values for shear wave velocity, elasticity, and other image display settings are

relative indexes intended only for the purpose of comparison with other measurements performed

using the ACUSON S2000 ultrasound system and the ACUSON S3000 ultrasound system. Absolute

values for shear wave velocity and elasticity measurements may vary among different manufacturers

due to multiple system-dependent factors, including shear wave frequency, excitation beam (push

beam) frequency, shear wave detection techniques, and shear wave velocity and elasticity estimation

methods. The system displays the following message on the screen during Virtual Touch IQ imaging

and in the report if measurements are saved to the report: "Shear wave speed and elasticity values

may vary among manufacturers!"

Virtual Touch IQ quantitatively depicts tissue stiffness for a selected region of interest and

provides a quantitative measurement of shear wave velocity (Vs) or elasticity (E) for any point

within the region of interest. You can adjust the size and depth of the region of interest (ROI)

where shear wave information will be acquired. The maximum depth for the ROI is 6 cm, the

effective limit to acquire shear wave images in the intended applications under normal scanning

conditions.



In a full-screen format, the system displays the shear velocity or elasticity data as a

transparent color overlay on the 2D image.



In a dual-screen format, the system displays the 2D image on the left side and the ROI with

the shear velocity or elasticity data on the right side.
