By using [S./PRI], the sensitivity can be changed for each anatomy of interest.
Sixteen steps are possible.
6.7 XTD-View (Extended View)
XTD-View provides the ability to construct and view a static 2D image which is wider than the
field of view of a given transducer. This feature allows for viewing and measurement of
anatomy that is larger than a regular screen.
XTD-View constructs an extended image from individual image frames as the operator slides
the transducer along the surface of the skin. The probe is oriented parallel to the direction of
motion throughout the scan. The quality of the result is user-dependent and requires some
additional skills and practice to develop proper technique and become fully proficient.
Examples include scanning of vascular structures and connective tissue in the arms and legs.
This symbol reminds the user that unintended use of this feature could lead to measurement
inaccuracy. For further details: 'After the XTD-View Image Acquisition'
