Table 3-2 2D mode and M mode functions

Image optimization Functions
controls
Gain To increase or decrease the amount of echo information
displayed in an image. It may have the effect of brightening or
darkening the image if sufficient echo information is generated.
Depth Increasing the depth enables the deeper structures to be

visualized. You can decrease the depth if you do not need the
bottom portion of the display.
Focus You can tighten up the beam for a specific area by either
increasing the number of focal zones or moving the focal
zone(s). A graphic caret corresponding to the focal zone
position(s) appears on the right edge of the image.
Zoom Turn the Zoom key to activate Read Zoom and press the
Zoom key to activate Write Zoom. Use Read Zoom to get to
the area of Interest and then use Write Zoom to zoom in or
out.
Time Gain Compensation TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation
(TGC) caused by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are
spaced proportionately to the depth. The area each pot
amplifies varies as well. A TGC curve may appear on the
display (if preset), matching the controls that you have set
(except during zoom). You can choose to deactivate the TGC
curve on the image.
Harmonic Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small
parts imaging as well as far field penetration by Digitally
Encoded Ultrasound (DEU). Harmonics reduces low frequency
high amplitude noise. Turning on this feature may be beneficial
when imaging isoechoic lesions in shallow-depth anatomy in
the breast, liver, and hard-to-visualize fetal anatomy.
Harmonics may improve 2D mode image quality without
introducing a contrast agent.
Frequency In multi frequency mode, you can change the frequency to the
transducer's next lower frequency or higher frequency.
Dynamic Range The ratio of the largest to smallest signals that an instrument
or a component of an instrument can respond to without
distortion.
In diagnostic ultrasound the dynamic range frequently is
expressed in decibel.
Dynamic Range is useful for optimizing tissue texture for
different anatomy. Dynamic Range should be adjusted so that
52
the highest amplitude edges appear as white while lowest
levels (such as blood) are just visible.
Rejection Elimination of low-amplitude signals from the display, also
known as noise rejection.
Up/Down Flips the image 180 degrees up/down.
Gray Map Press Gray Map to select a map. Gray maps gradually change
from least contrasty to most contrasty.
Colorize To enhance the user’s ability to distinguish B, M, and Doppler

Mode intensity valuations, the Colorization of a conventional
B-Mode image or Doppler Spectrum is used. Colorize is NOT
a doppler mode.
Edge Enhance Edge Enhance brings out subtle tissue differences and
boundaries by enhancing the gray scale differences
corresponding to the edges of structures. Adjustment to M
mode's edge enhancement affects M mode only.
Scan Area You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to
maximize the image's region of interest (ROI). Increase the
sector angle to see a wide field of view; decrease the sector
angle when you need to have a faster frame rate, as in fetal
heart.
Line Density Optimize 2D-mode frame rate or spatial resolution for the best
possible image. A lower line density is useful in fetal heart
beat, adult cardiac applications and in clinical Radiology
applications requiring significantly higher frame rates. A higher
line density is useful in obtaining very high resolution (e.g.
thyroid, testicles)
Dual and quad imaging Using dual imaging, you can position two images side-by side
on the display. Dual imaging is available in all 2D live imaging
Modes, M-mode, and Color Flow.
Sweep speed (M mode During M mode imaging, you can change the speed of the
only) sweeping display by turning Speed, a Soft Key display.
There are six sweep speeds: 0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5.
The sweep speed is displayed on the Soft menu window.
M-Mode Zoom (M mode When the system is in M mode, you can magnify a portion of
only) the reference image using M mode zoom function.

The E-CUBE 9 FE segment includes the following boards:
- FE64 board: FE64 board has 64 transmit/receive channels.
Figure4-4 E-CUBE 9 FE board block diagram
The Front End (FE) Segment utilizes the most advanced analog components and FPGA
technologies currently available. The following lists the main tasks performed by the FE
segment.
FE board
FE board performs the following functions:
- Receive beam forming

- High-voltage transmits signal generation
- Receive analog signal gain control
- Signal digitization
FE board utilizes the most advanced analog components available. Figure 4-4 shows the
detailed block diagram.
Inputs are 64 transducer lines that have gone through aperture selection (HV MUX
control), performed in the TI board.
The signal in each channel is fed via a Limiter to a preamplifier (in VCA8500). The
Limiter limits the Pre-Amp input when high voltage transmits pulsed exist. The Pre-Amp
provides fixed gain for all transducers except for pencil transducers.
Thereafter, a Time Gain Compensation (TGC: in VCA8500) equalizes the signal strength
from the near-, mid-, and far-fields. The TGC low pass filters provide minimal gain
compensation to keep system noise within the dynamic range. (A low pass filter is an
anti-aliasing filter prior to signal sampling).
The CW Cross point is the first stage of the CW Doppler processor function. The rest of
the CW Doppler processor is located on the TI board.

4-3-10 Power diagram
4-3-10-1 Overview
The AC power unit main task is supplying power to various internal subsystems (AC-
DC module, AC power fan, gel warmer, control panel, monitor, B/W printer, outlet). The
voltage to peripherals can be confederated to either 110 VAC or 220 VAC. To select
input voltage, move the control switches which are located on the rear of AC box to 110
VAC or 220 VAC.
4-3-10-2 AC power
Figure4-13 E-CUBE 9 AC Power signal(V1.0)
93
Figure4-13-1 E-CUBE 9 AC Power signal(V2.0)
4-3-10-3 DC power
DC power is supplied by SMPS and source of all assys such as nest and nest fan. To turn on
the SMPS, the live power is needed as a standby power. This live power is generated from
SMPS when the SMPS receive the AC input from the AC power. When the live power is
supplied to the BE board and system momentary switch is pushed on, BE board switches
the PS_ON signal to low level to turn on the SMPS. After turning on the SMPS, AC power
assy changes the path itself to supply stable AC power.

SMPS supplies High-voltage power to activate high voltage transmit pulse and static supply
bias voltage on high voltage HVMUX. When BE Board makes the HV_STOP signal to low,
the SMPS generates the HV module in SMPS. The SMPS supplies +/-100V to the system
constantly and the VHVP and VHVN supplies 0~+/-80V individually.
BE Board controls the level of VHVP and VHVN through the IIC interface.

would allow liquid to enter the transducer. If any damage is found, do not use the transducer
until it has been inspected and repaired/replaced by ALPINION Service Representative.
Ÿ Always place a sterile, non-pyrogenic transducer sheath on a

transducer used in procedures requiring sterility.
Ÿ To minimize the risk of cross-contamination and infectious diseases,
intraoperative transducers must be cleaned and high-level disinfected after
each use. A sterile, non-pyrogenic transducer sheath must be in place during
procedures requiring sterility.
Ÿ There have been reports of severe allergic reactions to medical devices
containing latex (natural robber). Health care professionals are advised to
identify latex-sensitive patients and to be prepared to treat allergic reactions
promptly.
Ÿ During neurosurgical procedures, if a transducer becomes contaminated with
tissue or fluids of a patient known to have Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, the
transducer should be destroyed, as it cannot be sterilized.
Ÿ When using an endocavity or intraoperative transducer with a CF type applied
part, the patient leakage currents may be additive.
Ÿ To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system, disconnect the transducer
prior to cleaning or disinfecting.
Ÿ The list of disinfectants and cleaning methods are recommended by ALPINION
for the compatibility with product materials, not for the biological effectiveness.
Refer to disinfectant label instructions for the guidance on disinfection efficacy
and appropriate clinical uses.
Ÿ Transducers are sensitive instruments – irreparable damage may occur if they

are dropped, knocked against other objects, cut, or punctured. Do not attempt
to repair to alter any part of a transducer.
Ÿ To avoid cable damage, do not roll the system over transducer cables.
Ÿ To avoid damage to the transducer, do not use transducer sheaths containing
on oil-based coating or petroleum-or mineral oil-based ultrasound coupling
agents. Use only a water-based ultrasound coupling agent.
Ÿ DO NOT place or store the transducer in the side pocket or the storage area on
the system to prevent damaging it from accidently falling off.
Ÿ To avoid damage to the transducer, observe the immersion levels indicated for
each transducer type. Do not immerse or allow the cable or connector of a
transducer to become wet.
Ÿ The transducer have been designed and tested to be able to withstand high-
level disinfection as recommended by the manufacturer of the disinfectant
264
product. Carefully follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
immerse for more than one hour.
7-2-1 Transducer handling and infection control

This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission
associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly
affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient
by direct physical contact. Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a
variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a
surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact.
One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use
or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices
that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of
disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients.
7-2-2 Cleaning and disinfecting transducers

To clean a transducer,
1. Disconnect the transducer from the system.

2. Moisten a clean gauze pad with water and wipe the transducer to remove any gel or
particles remaining on the transducer. If water is not effective, then you can use an
approved pre-cleaner or low-level disinfectant.
3. Carefully wipe the entire transducer, including the cable and connector.
4. After cleaning or disinfecting, use a clean cloth to dry the transducer.
To disinfect or high-level disinfect a transducer,
1. Disconnect the transducer from the system.

2. Thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the transducer.
3. Take care to keep the cable strain relief and connector of the transducer dry while
immersing the transducer in an approved disinfectant to the level indicated in the following
illustration.
4. Carefully follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for disinfection or high-level
disinfection.
5. After disinfecting or high-level disinfecting, use a clean cloth to dry the transducer.
The following high-level disinfectant agents have been approved for use with all transducers:
Ÿ Cidex OPA
Ÿ Cidex Plus
Ÿ Gigasept FF
Ÿ Virkon

8-10 Acoustic Output

The E-CUBE 9 ultrasound system shows the acoustic output display (e.g. Mechanical Index (MI),
Thermal Index (TI)) on the upper right side of the screen. This acoustic output display allows you
to monitor the acoustic levels generated by the system.
Two standards for the acoustic output display are as follows:
AIUM/NEMA UD3 Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output
302
Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound equipment.
IEC 60601-2-37, Mechanical Electrical Equipment – Part2-37: Particular Requirements for the
Safety of Ultrasound Medical Diagnostic and Monitoring Equipment.
You should use the E-CUBE 9 ultrasound system at the lowest mechanical/thermal
index setting necessary to generate clinically acceptable images.
303
8-10-1 Acoustic output display (Mechanical/Thermal indices)
The E-CUBE 9 ultrasound system displays Mechanical index (MI) and Thermal index (TI) on
the upper right side of the screen as shown below.
The acoustic output display has three values as follows:

l Mechanical Index (MI)
l Thermal Index (TI)
l Acoustic Output (AO) value
MI is used as an indicator of the mechanical bio-effect such as cavitation in the tissue. TI

represents the ratio of total power to the power required to raise tissue by 1°C. The power
value informs you of where the system is operating within the range of available output
power.
One of the following TI values display on the screen based on the application and type of
tissue.
l Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS)
l Bone Thermal Index (TIB)
l Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC)
The TI and MI are displayed all the times. The MI and TI display start at a value of 0.4 and
increments in steps of 0.1 (values less than 0.4 are displayed as < 0.4).
Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for each mode used
before attempting to adjust the power control or any control that can affect Acoustic
Output.
8-10-2 Controls affecting acoustic output

The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or thermal bioeffects (TI) can be
influenced by certain controls. The power control has the most significant effect on Acoustic
Output. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls.
Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the bioeffects portion of each control
in the Image chapter. Always observe the acoustic output display for possible effects.
To minimize exposure time and keep ultrasound levels low, operate your system by using the
ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, increasing output only when needed to
obtain diagnostic image quality. It is recommended that all users receive ALARA training
program. The ALARA training program by ALPINION application specialists provides you with
basic ultrasound principles, possible biological effects, the derivation and meaning of the
indices, ALARA principles, and examples of specific applications of the ALARA principle.
304
8-10-3 Principle of ALARA
The principle of ALARA, which stands for As Low As Reasonably Achievable, is to keep the
radiation exposure at the minimum level necessary to obtain the diagnostic information. This
principle is widely practiced in medical x-ray protection where exposure at any level is potentially
harmful. Historically, ALARA was initiated as a cautious approach for dealing with uncertain
hazards but has since become the principle method for reducing the risk of injury from hazards
that do not have safe minimum threshold.
While no minimum thresholds for harmful bioeffects have been established with the use of
diagnostic ultrasound, the principle of ALARA can be readily implemented on equipment
incorporating an output display. As the operator adjusts the equipment to optimize the image
quality, the display interactively updates to indicate the effect on output.
Controls that have no noticeable impact on image quality should be set to minimize the output
while controls that improve the image quality and also increase acoustic output should be set no
higher than needed to achieve a diagnostic quality image.
