Advanced Features and Options
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)
Contrast imaging is a separately purchased option. It is a detection mode specifically designed to
enhance ultrasound contrast agent signals. Similar to 2D (B-Mode), a suite of additional
optimization controls are provided to further enhance contrast agent imaging performance.
The contrast imaging is used in conjunction with ultrasound contrast agents to enhance imaging
of blood flow and microcirculation. Some injected contrast agents re-emit incident acoustic
energy at a harmonic frequency much more efficiently than the surrounding tissue. Some agents
re-emit non-linear, or subharmonic signals. Blood containing the contrast agent stands out
brightly against a dark background of normal non-enhanced tissue.
The C4-1, C10-3, P4-1c, P8-3TEE, P9-3ic, P8-3mTEE, P7-3c probes support the CEUS
(Contrast agent for LVO); The C4-1, C6-2, C9-3, C10-3, C8-3 3D, P4-1c, L10-5, L8-3, L14-5sp,
L14-5w, L20-5, C9-3sp, C6-1, C18-5, P7-3c, C12-4lp probes support the CEUS (Contrast agent
for Liver)
Set MI index according to the instructions in the contrast agent user
manual.
Read contrast agent user manual carefully before using contrast
function.
Optimize the image before injecting the contrast agent into the patient to avoid
affecting image consistency, as the effective time is limited and varies by
contrast agent.
Users should comply with relevant local regulations in terms of approved
indications for use.
NOTE: The ZS3 Ultrasound System is designed for compatibility with commercially available
Ultrasound contrast agents. Because the availability of these agents is subject to government
regulation and approval, product features intended for use with the agents may not be
commercially marketed nor made available before the contrast agent is cleared for use.
Contrast- related product features are enabled only on system for delivery to an authorized
county or region of us
e.
Read and follow contrast agent instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Basic Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) Operation
Contrast must be configured to a programmable function key before use. These keys can
be configured in Setup / Keys.
