Operation Manual
ElastoScan Mode
The elasticity of ROI in a 2D image is shown in color. The 2D Mode image is also shown, so that you can
mark and adjust the position of the ROI within the scanned image.
NOTE:
X
ElastoScan Mode is an option for this product.
X The probes, applications, and presets that support ElastoScan are as follows: LN5-12 (Small parts
– Breast), L5-12/50 (Small parts – Breast), EVN4-9 (Gynecology-Uterus, Urology-Prostate), ER4-9
(Gynecology-Uterus, Urology-Prostate)
Tips!
ElastoScan
This process converts the elastic modulus (ultrasound image data) of a target object, obtained from
continuous ultrasound images, into an elastogram. A lesion’s location can be estimated by using
the differences in elastic modulus obtained from elastograms. The function of elastography is to
determine the difference in hardness or stiffness between healthy organs and lesions. Palpation
has been used to measure stiffness, but this method is only useful at depths close to the surface of
tissue. ElastoScan allows the user to identify the existence of solid masses in tissue, and converts the
hardness data into an image by sonically enhancing the palpation.
Elastography shows the spatial distribution of tissue elasticity properties in a region of interest
by estimating the strain before and after tissue distortion caused by external or internal forces.
Quantitative elastography is not provided.
E Entering and Exiting E Mode
In 2D mode, press ElastoScan in the menu.
E Mode Screen
E Dual Mode
In this mode, the elastogram and the 2D image are displayed together on the screen. Press
Single/Dual to select either Single or Dual mode.
To facilitate comparative observation, the 2D image is shown on the left and an E image is shown
on the right.
