Changing the Exam, Transducer, Protocol, or Patient Information

During an examination, you can correct patient registration information or select a different
exam type, protocol, or transducer. If a transducer is not selected in the patient registration
form, the system activates the default transducer for the selected study type if it is connected to
the system.
Note: The study types supported by each transducer will vary.
Use the system configuration menu to customize study type selections.
