ROI Mode
ROI stands for Region of Interest. In E Mode, the ROI Box represents the area where elasticity
information is processed and shown. Tap ROI Mode on the touch screen to turn ROI Mode on
or o.
It is important that only the eective tissues are included in ROI by avoiding ineective
components such as bone and air to obtain a good elasticity image. If a ratio of eective image
is insucient, no elasticity image can be displayed even when tissues are pressured. To scan the
breast, it is best to set as wide as possible in the lateral direction and to include subcutaneous
layer and muscle in the axial direction to obtain a good-quality elasticity image, but it can be
exible to adjust the real situation.
You can adjust the position and size of the ROI box by using the Change button on the control
panel. Each time the Change button is pressed, the current status of the ROI Box is shown in
the User Information area of the screen.
