To perform Anatomic M-mode: • Rotate Angle on the soft keys and the system activates Anatomic M-mode. The Anatomic M- mode cursor displays as a dashed line with an arrow pointing in the direction of the deeper part of the image. • To reposition the Anatomic M-mode cursor, roll the trackball. • To reset Anatomic M-mode, press Reset on the soft keys. • To exit Anatomic M-mode, press 2D. • In this example, it was used to better position the angle to demonstrate M-mode in the mitral valve. Color M-mode provides color to the M-mode trace when using a cardiac transducer. • When in M-mode, press C on the Control Panel to activate. • Color M-mode works on cardiac transducers and presets. This is an example of a Color M-mode showing aortic insufficiency. Notes No. 31 SIEMENS Healthineers Notes No. 31 SIEMENS Healthineers M-mode touch screen and soft key controls SIEMENS .

With the power of the image beamformer, the system can transmit broader beams than a conventional system, using massive parallel image-formation to collect many different angles simultaneously. The beams are then corrected, creating a more tightly focused image from near field to far field. There is no longer a need to transmit at multiple depths to maintain image uniformity or have a transmit focus control. InFocus technology is always in use and is noted on the image screen by the icon. There will be no focal zones on the image screen. These are a few example images that were done using InFocus technology. Notes No. 34 SIEMENS Healthineers Bi-Plane+ imaging SIEMENS. Healthineers ...

Harmonics can be used to decrease artifacts such as haze, noise and clutter. Harmonics can help reduce grating lobes and side lobe artifacts (low-intensity weak echoes outside of the main ultrasound beam) typically seen in the region of the lateral and anterior walls of the heart. It can also reduce reverberation artifacts (linear equally spaced echoes) generally caused by rib and lung artifact. To activate / deactivate harmonics, select Harmonics on the touch screen.

Frequency imaging allows the user to independently select B-mode fundamental or harmonics, color Doppler, M-mode and spectral Doppler frequencies (e.g., the Doppler frequency can be adjusted without changing the B-mode frequency). Each imaging mode has its own range of frequency settings to achieve the highest resolution, penetration and sensitivity for the structure being imaged in each mode. There are several frequency choices for each transducer and are available via the corresponding soft key. These images are a subcostal view with each frequency.

Speckle Optimization Edge and Ridge Enhancement Contrast Enhancement Gain and Dynamic Range 44 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2023 Speaker Notes: A unique capability available on the system is UltraArt universal image processing. Image post-processing parameters can be selected with a single touch to instantly optimize images for different patient types. This allows quick and easy matching of the systems acoustic DNA parameters to individual patients in the specific scanning window. The effect of numerous parameter changes before they are applied can be seen on the Touch Screen display. By unifying multiple parameters into optimal settings for each individual patient, the effect of UltraArt patient specific image processing improves contrast resolution. In the end, UltraArt improves exam quality and consistency across different users by avoiding combinations of individual post processing parameters that do not provide the result the user needs. Reading physicians can look forward to better exam quality standardization. Some of the settings that are optimized include Speckle, Edge, Contrast, Gain and Dynamic Range. This is acquired during real-time, so the changes can also be applied on a frozen image.
