How to Perform a Full Volume Acquisition on a Philips EPIQ Ultrasound

http://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare...

This video offers a step-by-step guide on how to acquire a full volume dataset on a Philips EPIQ ultrasound system. In this example, the X5-1 transducer is used with the apical 4 chamber view. Data can be acquired from different views depending on your target anatomy.

Full volume acquisition is used when larger volume of data is needed, usually including the whole heart as when performing an ejection fraction in QLAB.

Tips:
Make sure there is a strong ECG signal with regular R-R intervals.
Remember to adjust depth, focus, and iScan for optimal results.
