Notes No. 3 SIEMENS Healthineers User interface SIEMENS . Healthineers ... Reference image selection Region of interest (ROI) Thumbnail panel ROI size/position 4 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2023 Speaker Notes: It is important to be familiar with the user interface. This is the Stress Echo layout screen prior to the start of the Stress Echo exam. Once the Stress Echo option is selected from the Touch Screen, the controls for the Stress Echo package are available on the Touch Screen. The region of interest (ROI) is in the middle and the thumbnail panel is on the right side. Details regarding the ROI position and size as well as the thumbnail panel will be explained in the following slides. Right panel displays reference images of stored images and clips or provides functions for workflow such as eSieScan™ workflow protocols or Stress Echo. During review, double-click a thumbnail to display the image in a full-screen format. You can also add thumbnails to the reports. Imaging parameters displays a list of imaging settings for the active operating mode. Notes No. 4 SIEMENS Healthineers Region of interest (ROI) SIEMENS . Healthineers ...
