Starting acquisition
1. Turn Freeze off to initiate scanning.
NOTE: To use the Timer, see page 7-8.
2. Perform a scan that conforms with the view that is
highlighted in the template matrix on the Clipboard window.
If the selected template has the option Smart Stress turned
on (see page 7-28), a subset of the image acquisition
settings for each view in the baseline level will be stored and
automatically reused in the corresponding views in the next
levels.
NOTE: Smart Stress is turned on by default in factory templates.
3. Press Store.
• If the actual stress level is configured to preview
cineloop before storing, use the cineloop controls to
select the most appropriate heart cycle and, if desired
adjust the loop markers (see ‘Cineloop’ on page 4-6 for
further information). Press Store to save the selected
cineloop.
• If the actual stress level is not configured to preview
cineloop before storing, the system will automatically
store the last cardiac cycle.
NOTE: For further information on stress test configuration, see
page 7-26.
When storage of the cineloop is completed, the actual
highlighted cell in the template matrix is filled with dark blue
color indicating that the view has been acquired. After
storing the loop, the system automatically highlights the next
view in the matrix to be acquired.
Stress levels can be configured for side-by-side display/
comparison of the reference loop from baseline or previous
level and the loop to acquire (see Figure 7-3).
4. Repeat previous steps until all required views are
completed.
The template used can be configured so that analysis is
automatically started, displaying the first protocol group. The
wall segment scoring diagrams for each view is displayed in the
If using DICOM Server dataflow for stress-echo
acquisition, images should not be saved to permanent
archive before the complete protocol exam is acquired.
