Chapter 4: How the Vevo 2100 Imaging System works
Studies, series and images
Studies in the Vevo 2100 Imaging System are like studies in a paper based system.
They work much like a file directory and hold all the series of images that are part
of your study.
Studies are composed of one or more grouped image sets called series, and the
series are composed of one or more images (individual frames and/or multiple-
frame cine loops).

Image acquisition modes
The Vevo 2100 Imaging System provides a range of high-resolution micro-
ultrasound imaging modes to achieve different imaging objectives.
B-Mode overview
B-Mode is the imaging mode you will work with most often because it is the most
effective mode for locating anatomical structures. If you have seen a conventional
ultrasound image then you are already familiar with B-Mode.
B-Mode is also used:
 In other imaging modes as the background orientation image over which the
active mode data is applied
 As a real-time orientation window in other imaging mode windows so you
can visually guide the transducer to the right location to acquire the most
useful data in your active imaging Mode
