Preface
This guide describes the basic operation of the Philips SONOS 7500 and
SONOS 5500 ultrasound imaging systems.
What’s New In This Guide For D.0
The following major additions, deletions, and changes were made to this guide for
software revision D.0:
• This manual does not include information about Live 3D and BiPlane imaging
modes. For more information about them, see the Using 3-Dimensional and
BiPlane Imaging guide.
• Material about the SONOS 4500 system and about strip-chart recorders is
removed, since these are not supported by software revision D.0.
• The book’s organization is changed, to make it easier for readers to use it in
conjunction with the SONOS system’s Getting Started Audio CD.
• A new chapter is added, to summarize how to set up, perform, and record
ultrasound exams. (See Chapter 6.)
• Brief introductions are added to all chapters, to provide better context and
perspective, and to give readers handy pointers to each chapter’s contents.
• The last chapter (about ordering supplies and accessories) is removed, and
replaced by ordering information at the end of Chapter 1.
