THI (Tissue Harmonic Imaging)
Tissue reflects ultrasound signals at twice
the fundamental transmitted frequency.

 Improve lateral resolution

 Improve contrast resolution
 Reduce noise and artifacts
FCI (Frequency Compounding Imaging)

• Combine High frequency with Low frequency.

 Increase in both
Spatial resolution and Penetration

• Speckle is frequency dependent.

Frequency  Speckle size  better Resolution

Frequency  Speckle size but, better Penetration
SCI (Spatial Compounding Imaging)

• Scan lines are transmitted in multiple

directions by Beam steering.

• Averaging sequential frames spatially

improves the quality of the image.

 Improve Spatial resolution

 The borders are better defined
 Reduce the speckle noise artifacts
SRI (Speckle Reduction Imaging)

• Provides the image enhancement by reducing

the speckle, haze and clutter artifacts.
 Acquire clearer and sharper boundaries
 Smoother image

Full SRI
Provides 5 steps to control the level of SRI

SRI Full SRI

1 or 2 ON/OFF 1~5 Steps
 DPDI
(Directional Power Doppler Imaging)
• Color flow imaging combining
sophisticated level of sensitivity with
directional information.

• Good for low speed blood detection in

peripheral vessels such as kidney and MCA.

EC-i7, EC-5, EC-7 and EC-9

How to operate EC-11, EC-15

DPDI Press [DPDI] on the touch screen
 Blend / Adaptive blend
• Blending color filter

• Blending: Applies the same degree of transparency.

• Adaptive blending: Applied the different degree of

transparency depending on the signal size.

 Reduce the flash and motion noise artifact

 Make a gentle and hemodynamic color flow
 Better sharp margin definition of color imaging

EC-11, EC-15
• Blend
- Press the [Blend] on the touch screen

How to operate
• Adaptive Blend
- Press [DPDI] on the touch screen
Blend/ - Change the [Adaptive Level]
Adaptive blend * Higher level makes more transparent color look / Not applicable cardiac
Auto IMT
• A quick, automated method for measuring
the Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) of carotid.

• Help to reduce the time it takes to evaluate

carotid artery wall thickness.

• Reduce the variability from manual QI : Index for the wall detection
quality. “1” is the best accuracy

measurements and increase the productivity.

 Atherosclerosis
A disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries.
Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium etc.
Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries.
This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your
organs and other parts of your body, which can lead
to heart attack or stroke.
Analysis of Auto IMT
D Distance between starting point and ending point.

The maximum of the IMT values calculated for the selected vascular
Max
wall segment.
The mean of the IMT values calculated for the selected vascular wall
Mean
segment.
The standard deviation of the IMT values calculated for the selected
SD
vascular wall segment.

The ratio between number of points and the number of detected valid
pairs of points delimiting the intima-media. This value serves as an ind
QI
ex for the wall detection quality. It ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 is the
best value.

Valid The number of detected valid pairs of points.

Auto NT
• Nuchal Translucency is the assessment of the
amount of fluid behind the neck of the fetus.

• Semi-automated tool to provide NT

measurements at the end of the first trimester.

• Accurate & consistent results.

To avoid the inter-and-intra-observer variability
that comes with manual measurements.

 Nuchal Translucency Measurement Criteria

I. Gestation age between 10 and 14 weeks.
II. Mid-sagittal plane.
III.Neutral position of fetal neck.
IV. Exclude amniotic membrane.
V. (+) digital calipers placed on the inner border of the
nuchal space.
VI. Use the largest measurement.
 Auto Trace PW
Auto Trace automatically calculates and displays
the flow indices (PS, ED, MD, S/D, D/S, PI, RI, etc.)

Semi Auto Trace PW

By using Semi Auto Trace, user can select the
wanted spectrum cycle to get a various of
measurement values.

* To select the Auto Trace Items

I. System Preset > Measurement> Advanced MEAS. > Modify Calcs.
II. Select the wanted measure items.
Xpeed™
• By pressing one button, 2D, Color and PW
mode image can be optimized at once.

• Doppler aliasing artifact can be rejected.

AMM (Anatomical M-mode)
• Modification to the standard M-Mode typically
used in echocardiography.

• Can change the beginning point so that M-line

is well-aligned to visualize the valve or structures
in M-mode image.
Live HQ™
• Volume rendering technology

• Depict anatomical organs more realistically with an

adjustable virtual light source.

• Illuminating effect visualizing more depth and shadow.

Elastography
• Elastography displays the gradient value of Vessel Soft
the stiffness of soft tissues. Mass Stiff

• Offers useful diagnostic information like

detection of tumor.

• Available on Linear, Endo-Cavity transducers.

Elasto Color Map Indicator Bar

Red for soft

Green for average elasticity
Blue for hard Stable state for diagnosis

* Elasto Color map can Invert

Principle of Elastopraphy

1 External force is applied to the tissue

2 Soft tissue deform more  Large strain

Hard tissue deform less  Small strain

3 Display the scale of the relative tissue

stiffness with different colors

Relative value Absolute value (kPa)

- Dense breast is stiff tissue(blue)

- Normal tendon is stiff tissue (blue)

- Tendonitis or tears is relatively soft (red)
- Can allow monitoring of healing
