Selecting an Exam from the Menu Bar
The top group of menu items are used to work with custom exam types. The next group of
menu items load the presets for the indicated exam type. If you created any custom exams,
they show at the bottom of the Exam menu. See Chapter 8 -
more details about exam types and defining custom exams.
Adjusting the Size
The “T-shirt” Size buttons on the 2D Image Control window load preset values that
optimize the scan for the size of the patient or for the structured anatomy. Click the size
button that matches the patient size for small, medium, or large (or for superficial,
moderately deep, and deep areas of interest).
The Size setting applies a preset 2D transmit frequency. In general, Choosing the small
size sets the highest transmit frequency, to yield the best 2D resolution, while the medium
size sets a mid-range frequency, and the large size sets a lower frequency for the best
penetration.
Choosing a Size setting also sets other 2D and Doppler settings. When you choose a size,
you also load baseline settings for the other controls.
To set a patient size, click the appropriate T-shirt symbol.
