Strain Elastography Adjustment

  • Frequency (1) Adjust the frequency depending on the suspicious lesion’s depth. Lower frequency enhances sensitivity of the elastogram.

    Scale (2) Adjust the scale depending on user’s compression speed. Perform two compressions per second (scale value between 0.1-0.18). For different speed, decrease the scale for slower technique and increase for faster. Additionally, deeper lesions demand harder and slower compression, decrease for this case.

  • Frame Average (3) Adjust the frame average inversely to scale. Decrease when scale is increased and increase when scale is decreased.

    Frame Reject (4) Adjust the frame reject especially in Abdominal scanning (A weak signal is most often seen in ABD scanning when compressions are controlled by the internal body movement). Decrease frame reject to acquire an elastogram with lower than max quality at the quality bar but still a good elastogram.

  • Map (5) Adjust the Elasto map to provide a different visualization of the elastogram colors. Set to E3-E4 in order to have more redblue color levels instead of green (it is hard to recognize the small difference between many green tones). These maps are separating the elastogram color bar in three equal parts (redgreen-blue). Additionally, use E-Invert to invert the color indication for soft and hard tissue (red-hard, blue-soft). Transparency Defines the transparency of the overlaid elastogram in relation to B-mode. Controlled by CF gain. Adjust the transparency to change the appearance of the elastogram. Decrease transparency in order to create an elastogram with more vivid colors.
