1. Intended Use, Operating
Principles, and Specifications
1.1
Intended Use
(1) This system visualizes structures, characteristics, and dynamic processes within
the human body and displays image information for diagnosis. It provides
ultrasound images in B mode and M mode.
(2) This system is a general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound imaging system. This
system conforms to Real Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Output Indices
on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment. Transducers have their own characteristic
applications. For the transducers that can be used with this system and their
applications, refer to subsection 2.4 "List of Available Transducers".
1.2
Operating Principles
This system transmits ultrasound signals into the human body from a transducer and
receives the reflected echoes from the human body using the same transducer. It then
processes the received signals and displays them as images on a display screen.
This system supports convex and linear scanning techniques.
When the ultrasound signals transmitted into the human body encounter a substance
with different acoustic characteristics, they are reflected and return to the transducer as
echoes. Based on the time required for the ultrasound signals to return to the
transducer, the distance between the transducer surface and the reflecting substance
can be determined.
An M-mode image (cross-sectional image) can be displayed together with a 2D-mode
image on the same screen through time-sharing control, allowing the user to perform
M-mode diagnosis while observing a 2D-mode image.
