This enables a user to perform further manipulation on any image or clip acquired while in the 3D/4D mode The volume clip will be exported in AVI format Press the Image control to save individual VR images and to store a 4D clip, press the Clip control The Editing tab contains tools to remove unwanted sections of the volume: Line, Open Spline, Spline, Undo All, Redo All, and Undo Last Control The system may be configured to capture a Retrospective or Prospective clip Clip Length is where the user can choose the length of the clip for the current exam To change the overall clip length on the system, go to the System Configuration, Image Settings, and then Capture Settings To review the stored volumes, press the Review control on the touch screen Measurements may be performed on the planes acquired with real-time 3D but not on the VR No measurements are available on freehand MPR planes Return to the main page by selecting the orange X in the upper right-hand corner. Identify tools used to optimize volume imaging To reduce registration lines in the freehand 3D image, the position of the 9EC4 transducer should be as consistent as possible The optimization controls for the 7VC2, 9EV4 and 9EC4 transducers are the same Active controls are highlighted in orange and grey when available Controls that are not available are dithered out The touch screen reflects the parameters that will impact all of the MPR planes Active optimization for 3D or 4D controls include Min IP, Max IP, Quality, and Angle There are multiple optimization tools specific to the selected modes or quadrants The user can optimize other parameters such as Threshold, Opacity, Smooth, Brightness, Contrast, Dynamic Range, and the Grey Map to improve each plane and the MPR When MPR is selected the Grey map and Tint assignments change all three MPR planes When optimizing the VR, choose to optimize the Tint selection prior to adjusting any other parameters to avoid re-optimization of individual parameters The second page of the 3D/4D tools are Flip, Reset Curve, Reset Orientation, and Inversion Return to the main page by selecting the orange X in the upper right-hand corner. Describe tools used for volume manipulation The touch screen contains three tabs for manipulating volumes which are 3D, Multislice, and Editing Display Format area allows a user to select a desired layout The reference point is the intersection point between all three orthogonal planes Volume manipulation is facilitated by placing the reference point at the desired location and becomes the pivotal point around which the planes can be rotated along any of the three axis without losing its position The Control Panel of the system contains Rotary Dial controls that allow the user to manipulate the MPR slicing as well as the X, Y, and Z axis of the acquired volume The Y axis is manipulated using the PW Doppler control, and the Z axis is manipulated using the color Doppler control. The Update control can be used to toggle between the VOI manipulation tools, including Size, Position, and Curve functionality The quadrants are referred to as A,B,C, and VR, with quadrants A, B, and C containing the MPR planes of the volume Multislice views multiple slices of the selected MPR and the slices have various layout formats, Distance between slices, Range, and Range Position Return to the main page by selecting the orange X in the upper right-hand corner. Outline activation and volume acquisition The 7VC2 and 9VE4 are mechanical 3D/4D transducers, will perform a mechanical sweep of the selected area and, when completed, will display the volume in the image format selected by the user To perform a freehand acquisition with the 9EC4: Move the transducer in a slow, steady sweep and obtain the desired anatomy. The sweep should start from the patient's right to the patient's left or inferior to superior. The Timer will be displayed indicating how much time is left to acquire the anatomy The controls for both transducers are the same with exception of the scan technique Configure the Set keys on home base in System Configuration, Image Settings, and 3D/4D With the 9EC4, the user will need to perform a freehand 3D imaging technique to acquire the 3D volume Press the 3D/4D control on the Control Panel to enter the 3D or 4D imaging mode and press the Update control to start volume acquisition or return to 2D imaging Place the VOI above desired anatomy and adjust the size with the Set key during live scanning or in freeze Return to the main page by selecting the orange X in the upper right-hand corner.

AVI Audio and video interleaved (AVI) storage format. CT Computed tomography (CT) imaging technique used in radiology that obtains detailed internal images of the body. Freehand Acquisition Manual sweep used to acquire the 3D volume. Max IP The Maximum Intensity Projection (Max IP), limits the display to maximum value pixels with the highest value along each projection of the volume. Min IP The Minimum Intensity Projection (Min IP), and this limits the display to minimum value pixels with the highest value along each projection of the volume. MPR Multiplaner Reconstruction or Multiplaner Reformatting and is the term used to refer to the three orthogonal planes collectively. MRI Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and physiological processes of the body.
