4 - 24 Section 4-4 - Functional Checks
4-4-6-2 Preparations
Use a phantom (optional) when doing these tests.
1.) Connect one of the probes, to the scanner’s active probe connector.
- see: 3-6-4 "Connecting Probes" on page 3-15 for info about connecting the probes.
- For available probes, see: Section 9-13 "Probes" on page 9-59.
2.) Turn ON the scanner. The B-Mode window is displayed (default mode).
3.) If needed, adjust the Display’s Brightness and Contrast setting (see: Section 6-2 "Monitor
Adjustment" on page 6-2).
4-4-6-3 Checks
1.) Press B-Mode on the Operator Panel to access B-Mode.
2.) These Image Controls are used to optimize the B-Mode picture:
-Use Gain and TGC controls to optimize the overall image together with the Power control.
-Use Depth to adjust the range to be imaged.
-Use Focus to center the focal point(s) around the region of interest.
-Use Frequency (move to higher frequencies) or Frame rate (move to lower frame rate) to
increase resolution in image.
-Use Frequency (move to lower frequency) to increase penetration.
- Use the control to optimize imaging in the blood flow regions and make a cleaner, less noisy
image.
-Use Reject controls to reduce noise in the image.
• Check Width, Focus, Frame rate, Frequency
The results of these adjustments must be verified on the B-Mode sector on the screen.
• Check Rotation (Up/Down), Reverse (Left/Right), B Color Maps and Cineloop
The results of these adjustments must be verified on the B-Mode sector on the screen.
• Check Gain, TGC and Depth
• Check B-Mode Soft Menu Controls
• Check Compress, Contour, Reject and Tilt
• Check Acoustic output power and Dynamic Range
WARNINGWARNING
ALWAYS USE THE MINIMUM POWER REQUIRED TO OBTAIN ACCEPTABLE IMAGES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES.
