11 Start Patient Exam Begin an exam by completing the patient data, selecting a transducer, and selecting a procedure and study type. To begin an exam, touch Patient. For a new patient, enter patient data. The last name is required. Move between fields using the Tab key, or use the trackball to move the cursor. Select a Procedure and verify the Study Type, and then enter any study-related patient history. Click Done. Now you can select the transducer and preset. See Select Transducer, Preset, and Imaging Mode on page. NOTES If patient data is unavailable, use Temporary ID to start the exam. You must complete patient data or use a temporary ID to acquire and save images and loops. Patient data can be entered within hours, unless the system is configured for Send as You Go or batch export. For more information, see the system Help. If the system is connected to a network information system that provides patient data, you can select the patient from the modality worklist provided. At the end of the exam, to save the study data and exit the exam, touch End Exam. Perform an Exam

12 Perform an Exam Select Transducer, Preset, and Imaging Mode Presets include default image optimization, calculation options, and mode settings. Available presets are transducer-dependent. During an exam, you can switch transducers and presets as needed. Connect a transducer. Names of all connected transducers appear at the top of the touch screen. Touch the name of a transducer. Touch one of the displayed clinical applications/presets. Imaging Modes Accessed from Control Panel On EPIQ 7C, CW (Doppler) displays a spectrum of blood-flow information along an interrogation line. On EPIQ 7G and 7W, CPA (Color Power Angio) provides color amplitude information (not blood-flow-direction or velocity). PW (pulsed-wave Doppler) displays a spectrum of blood-flow velocity information using a discrete sample volume at a specific location. c D displays a D image and returns to D from any other mode. Color displays directional color velocities with a D image. D displays a touch screen tab that lists the available D modes, which depend on the active transducer and preset.

13 To use D, Color, or CPA imaging: To start D imaging: Press D or Color, or depending on your system configuration, press or touch CPA.

16 Perform an Exam 6 D and xplane Imaging Modes s D displays D volume data from a single sweep acquisition. Display formats include :, :, and :. D displays a continuous acquisition of multiple D volumes that captures D data as well as movement (D). Display formats include :, :, and :. istic displays multiple fetal heart cycles in a single sweep. The system then processes the acquired data to calculate the fetal heart rate and create a volume cineloop sequence of a single composite heart cycle. Requires an xmatrix transducer. Panoramic D displays an extended view of a D volume enabling acquisition of more anatomy in one volume. You can complete unlabeled measurements in the volume rendering view and labeled measurements in the multiplanar views. xplane displays two orthogonal simultaneous live images. Requires an xmatrix transducer. D Zoom/Preview displays the image in xplane preview. Also be used to enter D Zoom from D zoom or xplane zoom. Full Volume displays a volume that is wide in both azimuth and elevation, enabling capture of the entire heart in the volume. Freehand D displays an uncalibrated series of D frames in cine memory for D volume rendering. After acquisition, the system renders a D volume image from the D frames. 9 STIC displays multiple fetal heart cycles in a single sweep acquired with a mechanical transducer. The system then processes the acquired data to calculate the fetal heart rate and create a volume cineloop sequence of a single composite heart cycle. NOTE Some D imaging modes may be unavailable, depending on the configuration of your system, the transducer, and the preset. 6 7
