5.1.2. Dual Imaging
Dual Imaging displays images side by side on the screen. During real-time imaging when Dual
imaging is enabled, the active image is displayed in real-time and the other image is frozen.
Press the Dual L or Dual R button on the B-mode touch screen to select the left or right image
for activation. With both images frozen, press the Dual L or Dual R button to toggle between the
images.
Dual Exit
Dual is exited by any of the following:
 Pressing the Dual button corresponding to the currently active side.
 Pressing the Quad button.
 Pressing the B, M, D hard key.
 Pressing the 3D/4D button.
 Transducer change, preset recall, or new exam.
Color Doppler is available during dual imaging.
5.1.3. Quad Imaging
Quad Imaging displays images in four quadrants on the screen. During real-time imaging when
Quad imaging is enabled, the active image is displayed in real-time and other images are frozen.
Quad imaging is invoked by pressing Quad button on the B-mode touch screen. Quad button is a
one-shot button. Each single press on it during real-time imaging activates one of the four images
in an order from the top left one to the top right one, then to the bottom left one and to the bottom
right one. Each single press on it during frozen status switches among the four images in an order
described above but does not change the frozen status of the system.
Quad Exit
Quad is exited by any of the following:
 Pressing the B, M, D hard key.
 Pressing the Dual button
 Pressing the 3D/4D button
 Transducer change, preset recall, or new exam.
Color Doppler is available during Quad imaging.
5.1.4. Panorama
Panorama constructs an extended field of view image as the transducer slides along its long axis.
Acoustic
power*
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activated transducer. It is
only available in live imaging. Higher acoustic power numbers
correspond to more brightness and contrast in the image and more
force of penetration, but the ALARA principle should be followed in
actual situations.
