Once a scanhead is initialized, the Study Browser is displayed. The Study Browser is used for data acquisition and for the review and analysis of study data. 4. Click New or press <New> and fill out at least the two mandatory study information fields Operator Name and Study Name. 5. Click OK to continue with the study. The Vevo 770 will automatically start acquiring data in B-Mode. B-Mode 1. Select Setup > B-Mode Setup, or press <Mode Setup> to change acquisition parameters. 2. Press <Scan/Freeze> to start and stop data acquisition. The acquired data may be reviewed using the cine loop controls at the bottom of the screen. Optional Acquisition Modes The following imaging modes are available as options to the Vevo 770. You will only be able to use the options that have been purchased with your system: Quick Start Guide to the Vevo 770 Rev. 1.7 Page 2
