7.4 Patient Information Management
7.4.1. Storing Images
The control panel has three store keys: Store 1, Store 2, and Alt Store. Each store key can be
separately configurable to support any of the following functions:
 Store a static image.
 Store a clip.
 Video print function
For details about the configuration of store keys, please refer to Section 8.
Storing an image:
1. If a Store key is configured to store a static image it will always capture what is on the
imaging area of the screen. This includes live, frozen, or Cine images. It also includes
reports or other GUI screens and review.
Storing a clip:
1. If a Store key is configured to store a clip image it will capture the moving image in live or
auto cine play. If the image is frozen or a non-image screen is displayed then a static image
is stored.
2. The store starts with the press of the button and continues for the configured length of the
clip or until the clip store is interrupted. The following events can cause the clip store to
stop:
 A second press of the store button
 Display of a GUI screen or dialog
 Mode change
 Reaching a pre-defined clip duration (refer to System Setup)
 Image parameters change (depth and zoom in B/C mode, M cursor, sweep speed, strip
size and depth in M mode, angle, scale, baseline, invert, strip size and sweep speed in
Strip Doppler mode.)
 Cine play pause (press Freeze button, Set button or dragging left along the Swipe button)
7.4.2. Reviewing Images
If Static or Clip images have been stored for the current exam then they can be reviewed by
pressing the Review hard key on the console.
NOTE: If nothing has been stored in the current exam then the Review hard key will
invoke the Patient Database function (see the next section).
Figure 7-9 shows an example touch screen for Review. The following table explains the action of
each button in Review.
