Chapter 47: Acquiring Contrast Mode images
You have successfully acquired the contrast data that the system can work with to
isolate the contrast agent ultrasound signal data from the tissue ultrasound signal
data.
The contrast overlay data is created by comparing the baseline data acquired
before the injection of the contrast agent with the data acquired after the injection.
This, in theory, isolates only the signal from the contrast agent.
f To create the reference set:
1. If the cine loop is playing, press
Cine Loop Review
to stop the playback.
2. Use the cine loop range controls under the cine loop bar to bracket a reference
period in the cine loop before the burst destruction event.
Note: The reference can be no longer than 500 frames.
3. In the left panel click Create Reference.
A progress bar appears as the system creates the reference data set.
4. Load the cine loop to be processed.
5. Click Process Cine.
A progress bar appears as the system compares the reference set to the full
cine loop to calculate the intensity markers that represent contrast agent.
f To manually create a contrast agent destruction cine loop:
1. Press
Contrast
and begin acquiring image data.
2. Position the transducer and locate your region of interest.
3. Inject the contrast agent according to your protocol and then press
Burst
.
