Saving and Labeling Loops
The Cypress system allows you to save and label loops in three general ways:
Save the loop and then assign a label (see page 8-22).
Save and label the loop from Freeze mode (see page 8-25).
Save and label the loop simultaneously (see page 8-26).
These methods for saving loops can be used in combination during the stress
echo exam to create a method best suited to the user.
During the 2-Stage Protocol immediate post exercise stage when images must
be captured within a defined period of time, the "Save the Loop and then Assign
a Label" method is the most commonly used. Using this method lets you quickly
capture the loops and then choose the
ROI
and view label.
When performing a stress echo exam, all loops should be saved with the Stage
label (Rest, Peak, etc.) assigned. A View label (
LAX
,
SAX
,
AP4
,
AP2
) can be
assigned to the desired loop at a later time.
Suspending the Protocol Labeling Function
To suspend the protocol labeling function, use the
PROTOCOL
Soft Window
knob.
To suspend labeling, follow these steps:
1.
Start a stress echo exam.
2.
Turn the
PROTOCOL
knob until labels are no longer visible.
