Imaging

Annotating images

You can annotate live images as well as frozen

images. (You cannot annotate a saved image.) You

can place text (including predefined labels), an

arrow, or a pictograph. To set preferences for

annotations, see “Annotations setup” on

page 18.

To place text on an image

You can place text in the following imaging layouts:

full-screen 2D, full-screen trace, dual, or duplex.

You can place text manually or add a predefined

label.

1 Press the

TEXT key. A green cursor appears.

2 Move the cursor where desired:

• Use the touchpad or arrow keys.

• Select Home to move the cursor to the

home position.

The default home position depends on the

imaging screen layout. You can reset the

home position. See “To reset the home

position” on page 36.

3 Using the keyboard, type text.

• The arrow keys move the cursor left, right,

up, and down.

•The

DELETE key deletes all text.

• Word removes a word.

• Symbols lets you enter special characters.

See “Symbols” on page 10.

4 (Optional) To add a predefined label, select

Label, and then select the desired label group:

, , or . Select the group again for

the desired label.

The first number shows which label in the group

is selected. The second number is the number of

labels available.

1. Exam type abbreviations are as follows: Abd =

Abdomen, Bre = Breast, Crd = Cardiac, Gyn =

Gynecology, IMT = Intima Media Thickness, Msk =

Musculoskeletal, Neo = Neonatal, Nrv = Nerve, OB =

Obstetrical, Oph = Ophthalmic, Orb = Orbital, SmP =

Small Parts, Sup = Superficial, TCD = Transcranial

Doppler, Vas = Vascular, Ven = Venous.

2. The optimization settings for 2D are Res, Gen, and Pen.

3. The optimization settings for CPD and Color are low,

medium, and high (flow sensitivity) with a range of PRF

settings for Color depending on the setting selected.

4. For the cardiac exam type, PW TDI is also available. See

“PW Doppler controls” on page 29.
