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 TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the
Compensation (TGC) attenuation 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
46
 that 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 Using dual imaging, you can position two images side-by
imaging side on the display. Dual imaging is available in all 2D live
imaging Modes, M-mode, and Color Flow.
Sweep speed (M During M mode imaging, you can change the speed of the
mode 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 When the system is in M mode, you can magnify a portion
mode only) of the reference image using M mode zoom function.

The Front End (FE) Segment utilizes the most advanced analog components and
Digital technologies currently available. The following lists the main tasks performed
by the FE segment.

72
 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. 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 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.

4-3-10-1 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.

Figure4-13-1 E-CUBE 15 AC Power signal

87
 4-3-10-2 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.

- D12VP, 6A rms
- D12P_AMP, 1A rms
- D12VN, 0.6A rms
- P5D_STB, 0.6A rms

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.

1. Use a clean gauze pad or lint-free cloth, lightly moistened with a mild detergent, to
wipe the surface of the ultrasound system. Take particular care to clean the areas
near the trackball and the slide controls. Ensure these areas are free of gel and any
other visible residue.

Ensure that cleaning solution does not seep into the control panel, keyboard, or
any other openings.

2. After cleaning, use a clean, lint-free cloth to dry the surface.

3. After cleaning, reconnect the ultrasound system power code into the power outlet.

232
 7-1-4-2 Cleaning the liners of the transducer holders

1. Use the tab to remove the liner from the transducer holder.

2. Clean the liner under running water, using a mild detergent and dry with a lint-free
cloth.

3. Reinsert the liner into the transducer holder.

7-1-4-3 Cleaning the trackball

CAUTION
Do not drop or place foreign objects inside the trackball assembly. This may affect the
trackball’s operation and damage the system. Avoid other solvents that may damage the
mechanical parts of the trackball assembly.

1. Remove the front panel bezel by rotating the bezel counterclockwise.

2. Remove the trackball and the teflon ring.

3. Clean the trackball and the teflon ring with tissue and isopropyl alcohol.

4. Clean the inside of the trackball assembly with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.

5. Allow the assembly parts to completely dry before reassembly.

6. Replace the trackball and front panel bezel.

7-1-4-4 Cleaning the monitor face

Use a soft, folded cloth and a glass cleaner solution. Apply the glass cleaner to the cloth.
Gently wipe the monitor face.

Do NOT use a glass cleaner that has a hydrocarbon base (such as Benzene, Methyl
Alcohol or Methyl Ethyl Ketone) on monitors with the filter (anti-glare shield). Prolonged
use of such cleaners will damage the filter (anti-glare shield). Hard rubbing will also
damage the filter.

CAUTION
When cleaning the monitor, make sure not to scratch the monitor.

233
 7-1-4-5 Removing and cleaning the air filter

The air filter on the ultrasound system must be cleaned regularly to maintain proper
system cooling. Remove and check the air filter weekly, and clean as needed.

CAUTION
Do not scrub, stretch, or bend the filter, or apply heat to the filter, as doing so could
damage the filter.

1. Power off and unplug the power code from the power outlet.
2. Grasp the air filter tray and pull it out of the system.
3. Remove the filter.
4. Rinse the air filter with running water and allow the filter to completely dry. To hasten
drying, you may gently shake the filter, or blot the filter with a clean, lint-free cloth.
5. Reinsert the filter into the filter tray.
6. Slide the air filter tray back into the ultrasound system.
7. Plug the power cord into the power outlet.

234
7-2 Transducer Care and Maintenance
It is the responsibility of the user to verify that the transducer is safe for diagnostic operation.
After each use, inspect the transducer's lens, cable, and casing. Look for any damage that
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.

WARNING

 Always place a sterile, non-pyrogenic transducer sheath on a

transducer used in procedures requiring sterility.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 When using an endocavity or intraoperative transducer with a CF type applied
part, the patient leakage currents may be additive.
 To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system, disconnect the transducer
prior to cleaning or disinfecting.
 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.

CAUTION

 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.
 To avoid cable damage, do not roll the system over transducer cables.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 The transducer have been designed and tested to be able to withstand high-
level disinfection as recommended by the manufacturer of the disinfectant
product. Carefully follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
immerse for more than one hour.
235
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

Acoustic Output

The E-CUBE
CUBE 15 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 Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound equipment.

37, Mechanical Electrical Equipment - Part2-37: Particular

IEC 60601-2-37, articular Requirements for the
Safety of Ultrasound Medical Diagnostic and Monitoring Equipment.

WARNING
You should use the E-CUBE
CUBE 15 ultrasound system at the lowest mechanical/thermal index
setting necessary to generate clinically acceptable images.

272
Acoustic output display (Mechanical/Thermal indices)
The E-CUBE 15 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:

• Mechanical Index (MI)

• Thermal Index (TI)

• Power 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.

• Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS)

• Bone Thermal Index (TIB)

• 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).

WARNING
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.

273
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 you
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.

274
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.

Display resolution and measurement accuracy
When a transducer is capable of exceeding a mechanical or thermal index of 1.0,
the ultrasound imaging system displays indices starting from 0.4 in increments of
0.1 for all displayed values.

A number of factors contribute to the estimation error for the displayed index.
Variation among transducers and systems, approximation for real‐time index
calculations, and measurement errors contribute to the index display error.
Measurement precision for ultrasonic intensities, pressure, center frequency, &
power is within 10%, 6%, 7% and 10% respectively. The total estimated display
accuracy is +/‐15% for MI and +/‐30% for TI. Definitions for these parameters can
be found in the AIUM/NEMA document entitled Standard for Real‐Time Display of
Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound
Equipment (also known as the Output Display Standard)
