6.9.3 Evaluate image quality
Many variables may affect the overall image quality. It is important to evaluate the image content
and quality before an image is used for diagnosis or measurements.
NOTE:
• iScape panoramic imaging is intended for use by well-trained ultrasound operators or
physicians. The operator must recognize image items that will produce a sub-optimal or
unreliable image.
• If the image quality cannot satisfy the following criteria, you shall remove the image and
capture it again.
– The Image must be continuous (no part of an image moves suddenly or disappears.)
– No shadow or absent signal along the scan plane.
– Clear profile of anatomy through the entire scan plane without distortion.
– Skin line is continuous.
– The images are captured from the same plane.
– There are no large black areas in the image.
6.9.4 Cine Review
Select [Review Cine] in panoramic image viewing status to enter cine reviewing mode. In cine
reviewing mode, a frame marker indicates the sequence of the currently reviewed images in the
panoramic image on the left-hand side of screen.
In cine review status:
• Drag the playback mark to the left to display the earlier stored images; drag the playback mark
to the right to display the recently stored images. Or, swipe the image area to the right to
display the earlier stored images; swipe the image area to the left to display the recently stored

6.10 Smart B-line
The lung acoustic impedance difference increases with the increase of lung liquids. The ultrasound
waves produce strong reverberations in the lung at different depth. After multiple reflections, the
comet tail sign is formed, which is perpendicular to the pleura plane. Starting from the pleura line,
the comet tail sign moves along with the lung and extends to the far field. The reverberation line
perpendicular to the pleura plane is called Smart B-line.
Smart B-line is used to detect the B line of the lung in B mode. It supports B-line detecting in both
real-time and freeze modes.
TIP:
• Smart B-line is only available in Single B imaging mode.
