Question 1

What is cSound?

Accepted Answer

cSound on the Vivid e95 is a beamforming technology that uses software instead of hardware in order to render a more complete and lower-artifact image of the heart in 2D, 3D, and 4D imaging.

Question 2

What is CrossXBeam?

Accepted Answer

CrossXBeam is also known as compound imaging. It allows the ultrasound transducer to see from multiple lines of site at different angles, as opposed to the standard line-of-site that’s perpendicular to the transducer lens.

Question 3

What is SRI Speckle Reduction Imaging?

Accepted Answer

Speckle Reduction Imaging on the Vivid e95 portable ultrasound machine uses a special software algorithm to identify body tissue and eliminate artifact. The result provides a clearer image with reduced artifact.

Question 4

What is Scan Assistant?

Accepted Answer

The Scan Assistant on GE Ultrasound machines reduces scan time by automatically stepping the user through the steps of an exam. In doing so, it has shown to eliminate up to 78% of keystrokes. General Electric’s Scan Assistant initiates and completes required measurements, automatically steers color Doppler, sets up imaging controls and modes, inserts comments, and automatically re-orders images based on the user’s preference.

Question 5

What is VOCAL?

Accepted Answer

VOCAL stands for Volume Calculation. It allows for calculations of volumes using 3D technology.

Question 6

What is STIC?

Accepted Answer

Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation is typically used in research for clinical assessment of the fetal heart. It acquires the fetal heart from a 4D image sequence and analyzes the image to create a 4D cine sequence that presents the fetal heart in a real-time multi-planar display.

Question 7

What is “Q-Analysis”?

Accepted Answer

Q-Analysis is short for Quantitative Analysis. It includes quantitative assessment tools for LV (Left Ventricular) function. It includes assessment tools such as Tissue Velocity Imaging, Tissue Tracking, Tissue Synchronization Imaging, Strain, Strain Rate Imaging, and 2D Strain.

Question 8

What is Tissue Tracking?

Accepted Answer

Tissue Tracking displays Tissue Velocity over time and displays a color band that represents motion or distance during systole, resulting in a display of systolic longitudinal displacement.

Question 9

What is Strain Rate Imaging?

Accepted Answer

It is typically used by researchers to measure percent of regional deformation of the myocardium… Strain Rate measures the speed of deformation, while Strain measuers the percent of deformation.

Question 10

What is 2D Strain?

Accepted Answer

2D Strain is a research tool that allows the analysis of complete myocardial motion throughout the entire myocardial motion throughout the heart cycle.

Question 11
