(Information for the bug)

On the RT-3D function:
The error may sometimes occur when the 3D loop playback is used
at the certain condition as Render mode: Lighted and 3D Smooth: On.
Therefore, please use the “3D Smooth” function at default preset
condition. The default preset of “3D Smooth” is “OFF” condition.
“Smoothing(3D)” function has no problem. This problem starts from
Ver.5.0 of ProSound alpha10.
(Details)
Setup condition; “Render mode”: Lighted, “3D Smooth”: On
Process; Change the Loop playback of Volume Cine Memory from “On”
to “Off”.
Result; The program for showing the 3D images is stopped at 50% of
possibility. And then it is not possible to show the 3D image.
The symptom is not recovered till the Power switch is turned off and on
again.

(Additional Notes)
The new function makes the data on the local HD automatically
eliminated after the certain period.
It is working without any notice to the operator for the system.
Therefore please be careful to setup this function to “ON”.
The factory default is “OFF” condition.
An error is caused when 3D volume data set is reconstructed on the
ProSound alpha 10 Ver.6.*.* and before with the data acquired by
SSD3500/SSD4000/ProSound alpha5.
However, it is fixed after the Ver.7.0.

Notes for V7 enhancements:

A. Addition of ExPHD(THE) function for UST-9118 and UST-675
2D Image resolution is finely displayed at ExPHD(THE) condition compared to
fundamental image. Therefore, the inside of vessels will be presented more clearly
than before. However, the penetration to observe the uterus and prostate will not be
efficient.
There is THE setting on ProSound a7, but it is not available on ProSound a10.

Fundamental ExPHD Fundamental ExPHD

B. Addition of the frequency for Flow/Power Flow/eFlow at the UST-5296

This is only for tender specifications. Therefore, the reality of image will not be a
big improvement.

5.0 MHz 3.75 MHz 5.0 MHz 3.75 MHz

C. Modified the setting of THE High on the UST-52101

The resolution for near field of UST-52101 is improved on the THE setting “High”.
However, the global image quality on this probe is not widely changed. Other than
“High” condition, there is no merit to change the parameters.

D. Addition of eFlow on the ASU-1012

The penetration of ASU-1012 is better than UST-9118. Therefore, it has not any
problem on this probe. The transmitting frequency will be selected from 6.0, 5.0
and 3.75 MHz.
 - 10 -

E. Auto Angle Correction for spectrum Doppler using Color Doppler display
This is the function to adjust the Doppler angle for spectrum display by using the
Color Doppler image. It is using the Color Doppler information, therefore the
information will not be correctly displayed in the following cases.

z No flow display on the image. It is not possible to estimate the direction of the
flow when the Color Doppler information is not displayed on the image even
though the switch is activated.

z No uniform color display like aliasing condition.

z Using the short-axis view for the vessel.

F. Eliminate the vertical line noise

The new scan algorithm is added to eliminate vertical line noise in the Color
Doppler. It independently builds up the frame data for B&W image and Color
Doppler image. The demerit of this function will be making a conflict between B&W
image and Color Doppler image at the low frame rate condition.
This function will be working for the following three probes; UST-5411, 9130 and
9135P.

Segment Scan : Ver.6.0 Frame by Frame : Ver.7.0

UST-5543 15° Yes
UST-567 15° No
UST-5712 10° No
UST-5713T 10° No

H. Color Doppler on EFV

EFV: OFF EFV: ON

The presentation of Color Doppler on the EFV image is not the same as standard
Color Doppler because of the color process. It is difficult to use with general flow
mode in case of pulsatile flow. Therefore, if you want to show the structure of
vessel in the organ by color, we will recommend to use the Power flow and eFlow
 - 13 -

for this purpose.

Flow Power Flow

The EFV function makes a focus and collects the information in the middle of the
image, therefore if there is a small Flow area and the position is out of middle
area, the width of image is automatically expanded till 60% when the EFV switch
is “ON”.

(Flow area: Not on the center) (Expand the area when EFV is ON)
 - 14 -

i. Compound display function at Convex probes

The spatial compound function is working for Convex array probes also.
At this moment, the following four probes are supported: UST-9130, 9135P, 9115
and ASU-1010.

A vertical line or gap appears on the image when the side of probe is not well
touched to the body like the data below.

j. Flow 3D
It is possible to show the Flow 3D image at one volume data set when the 3D scan
function is used in Flow, Power Flow or eFlow mode. The 3D scan function is the
one volume data acquisition mode with slow scan.
The RT-3D option is required to integrate system with SOP-ALPHA10-35.
ProSound alpha10: SOP-ALPHA10-4 + SOP-ALPHA10-35
ProSound alpha10 Lite: SOP-ALPHA10-4 + EU-9102 + SOP-ALPHA10-35
If the high performance of 3D processing is required, it is necessary to change
the PC board with PM-A10-H012 option, and then upgrade to the ver.7.0.1
using PM-A10-S702EXP/USA/CAN-H10.

The items to be adjusted on the Flow 3D image are as follows;

z Color Map (3D): Selection from “A” to “H”
Setup the color of Color Doppler part on the 3D image. Setup the color of B&W
image part by the “Display Color (3D)”.
z Color Map (Ref A, B, C): Selection from “A” to “H”
Setup the color of Color Doppler part on the Ref A, Ref B and Ref C image.
 - 16 -

z 3D Display Data: Selection “BW+Flow”, “Flow” or “BW”

Setup the combination of display between B&W image and Color Doppler on
the Flow 3D display.
z Flow Opacity Control: Selection from “1” to “16”
Setup the opacity of color. Setup the combination of Low Level, High Level and
Power on the Flow Opacity Control at preset menu. It is possible to set 16
steps. Then read the condition from the menu.
z Clip only BW: Selection “ON” or “OFF”
It is clipper function to cut the B&W image on the Flow 3D image.
z Rendering mode: Selection “Shaded”, “GVR” and “Brightest”
The “GVR” mode will be presented the edge of vessels clearly compared with
“Shaded” mode. It is a better effect to suppress the noise signal. However the
thin vessels are also eliminated. It is the default setting for Abdominal studies.
The “Brightest” mode will enhance the low speed flow vessels compared with
“Shaded” mode because of display the whole blood flow front of B&W image.
However the noise signal is also increased.

(Remarks)
The directional Power Flow and directional eFlow function are not supported.
The color map between standard B-mode with color Doppler display and Flow 3Dis
not synchronized.
