Setting, errors in the measurement results could occur.
- When the spectrum signals are interrupted due to too high a Doppler Wall Filter
setting, Contour trace is possible, but Peak Trace may not be accurate.
- When Peak Trace is interrupted due to abnormal Doppler noise or artifact, Contour
trace is possible, but Peak Trace may not be accurate.
- When PW Gain is changed on a frozen image, Contour Trace/Peak Trace may not
work properly. To activate Auto Trace, the PW Gain of the frozen image should
maintain the same value on the one screen display.
- If noise is weak or absent in the image without spectrums, Contour Trace is not
activated. In the case of excessive noise, the result may not be accurate.
- If the Clutter filter is used too much, Auto Trace/ Limited Trace may not be
activated.
Limited Trace: Calculates Doppler Spectrum Cycle of the Designated Range
– When Control Threshold is set as ‘Enable’, in the ‘Setting Measurements’,
1. Press the Calculator button on the control panel after obtaining a specific
image.
2. Select Limited Trace in the measurement menu, and the baseline appears on
the spectral waveform.
3. Use the Trackball to position the baseline on the start point of the area to
measure, and press the Set button.
4. When another baseline appears, position it on the end point of the area and
press Set button again to complete Limited Trace.
5. Press Change button to change the trace direction. The trace direction can
only be changed before the second baseline is set. The trace direction can be
set for All, Above, or Below. Select one of them using the baseline as a
standard. The selected value is displayed at the top of the screen. The trace
direction can be set in the ‘Setting Measurements’ and saved as default.
6. To change the threshold trace, rotate the Menu dial-button to the left or right.
The tracing starts again, and a new trace line is drawn.
7. Press Menu dial-button or Set button to complete Limited Trace.
8. The values such as PSV, EDV, TAM, Vmean, Gmean, Gpeak, S/D, PI, and RI
are measured and displayed on the screen.
