Cineloop (in Freeze only)
Starts cineloop acquisition.
2D width (More menu)
Controls the angular width of the 2D image sector.
Alternative assignable controls
Press ALT to access to the following modes:
• Curved Anatomical M-Mode (see page 155)
• Tissue Synchronization Imaging (see page 188)
• Tissue Tracking (see page 173)
• Strain rate (see page 178)
• Strain (see page 183)
Strain Soft menu controls
Strain length
Determines the strain sample volume size. There is a trade-off
between noise and spatial resolution controlled by the Strain
length. To minimize noise the Strain length should be
maximized. A value of 12mm is typical for adult cardiac patients
(see "Optimizing Strain" on page 186).
Strain Reject
Adjust the cut-off level of the low tissue velocity to be discarded
when generating the color image. Rejected values are
uncolored.
Threshold
Controls the level of greyscale intensity that is used as
threshold for color.
Transparency
Control the degree of transparency of the strain color.
Frequency
Enables the adjustment of the transmission frequency to
control the sensitivity or the level of penetration.
