8 Working With Exams
Exams contain optimized preset values for many image control settings based on the
anatomy to be scanned, the transducer used, the patient size, and the scanning mode. The
exam presets also specify the measurements appropriate for the exam. You can use these
optimized preset exams as is, or you can adjust any of the Image Control settings as
necessary for the specific patient and the specific exam.
You can create additional exams to store sets of image control settings for specific kinds
of exams. Customized exams let you minimize the number of settings you must change
each time you perform a specific ultrasound exam.

About Exams
The Terason Ultrasound System provides pre-defined exams for all supported transducers.
Although several transducer models may support the same exam, the preset image control
parameters are unique to each transducer model.
An exam includes predefined image control settings used for small, medium, and large
patients, or for superficial, moderately deep, and deep areas of interest. When you select a
size on the 2D image control tab, the Terason software loads presets of other exam
parameters for that size. When you select a different size, you need not reload the exam or
load a different exam; the Terason software automatically updates the preset values for the
selected size.
