10 Presets
10.1 Preset Organization
The Presets are divided into two levels: the Exam Presets and Application Presets.
Exam Preset: Each transducer has its own set of Exam Presets. Each Exam Preset contains:
 The image parameters that optimize its transducer for an intended use.
 The list of data fields displayed on the patient demographic page.
 Pointers to Application Presets for Comments, Measurements, and Body Marks.
Application Preset: The Application Presets are independent from the transducer. Application
Presets are used to select Comments, Measurements and Body Marks. Since they are independent
from the transducer, several Exam Presets can use the same Application Preset.
Figure 10-1 shows an example of how Transducers, Exam Presets, and Application Presets are
related. For simplicity, this shows just a few of the items that are on the real system. In this example
the C5-2Q and the E8-4Q both have an OB Exam Preset. The C5-2Q OB Exam Preset optimizes the
C5-2Q imaging for OB while the E8-4Q OB Exam Preset optimizes the E8-4Q for the same use. The
parameters used for each transducer can be different, and changing one Exam preset does not
change the other.
However, both OB Exam Presets point to the same OB Measurement Preset as the Application Preset.
This means you can, for example, just configure OB measurements once, and both the C5-2Q and
E8-4Q will have updated OB measurements.
This example just shows a single kind of Application Preset. The system actually has separate
Application presets for Measurements, Comments, and Body marks. The same principle applies to
each of these: application presets can be shared across exam presets and transducers.
