Vascular Contrast Imaging
Vascular Contrast is intended for visualization of ultrasound
contrast agents in large vessels (e.g. carotid artery and femoral
artery).
The Vascular Contrast application works with the 8L-RS and
9L-RS probes.
The application uses Coded Phase Inversion (CPI) (greyscale)
to maximize the contrast detection and visualization.
Note: This system is designed for compatibility with
commercially available contrast agents. Because the
availability of these agents is subject to government regulation
and approval, product features intended for use with these
agents may not be commercially marketed nor made available
before the contrast agent is approved for use.
Note: the Vascular Contrast application requires the
Vascular/Abdominal Contrast option enabled.
WARNING
Abdominal and Vascular Contrast applications are for research
purposes only. Diagnosis must not be based on results achieved
by contrast analysis alone.
CAUTION
This application may not be available on your system. Contrast
agent for this application are undergoing clinical trial and
therefore, not yet available in the United States.
