6.13 Smart IVC
Smart IVC is used to automatically measure the IVC inner diameter and calculate the change rate in
the B mode image. Measure the IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) in real time, and the system
automatically tracks and measures the changes of IVC inner diameter. It can be used to assist in
treatments, such as volume estimation and fluid infusion.
TIP:
• Smart IVC is an option.
• Smart IVC supports calculation in both real time and freeze modes.
– Enable Smart IVC in real time. The calculation starts from the current frame and ends
after the image is frozen.
– Enable Smart IVC in freeze mode or from the cine file. The calculation starts from the
current frame and ends at the last frame. If the cine length is no longer than 10 seconds, it
is allowed to calculate in retrospective from the current frame after the cine length reaches
10 seconds.
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select an appropriate probe and exam mode.
2. Move the probe to gain an appropriate IVC long axis image.
3. Tap [Smart IVC] on the touch screen or the user-defined key to enter Smart IVC mode and
start calculation.
a. Tap to select a breath type: Spontaneous Breath or Mechanical Ventilation.
b. Select [Change Resp time] > [Resp Time] to set a respiratory time.
The system measures the IVC inner diameter of the image in every frame, calculates the
maximum and minimum IVC diameters, and draws a quantitative index change curve in real
time.
4. If necessary, you can adjust the IVC sampling line manually:
a. Tap [Edit Line] on the touch screen.
