Archiving 270Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual FC092326-03 Introduction During an examination, the operator stores data, images and cineloops for immediate purposes. The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit includes an integrated patient archiving system for data and image storage. The Vivid 7/Vivid 7 PRO ultrasound unit enables also storing of data and images to external databases (EchoServer, Magneto Optical (MO) disk or CD-R). The patient and image archives are set by the selected dataflow (see page 424 about available dataflows and default dataflow selection). CAUTIONDo not use the internal harddrive for long-term image storage.
Archiving Vivid7/Vivid7 PRO Users Manual271 FC092326-03 Storing images and cineloops DICOM images are stored to formatted Magneto Optical disks separately from patient data.Images and cineloops that are stored during a current examination are displayed as thumbnails on the clipboard (see Figure 8-1). When an image is stored, all the additional information that is displayed is saved with it (e.i. probe and application selected, image setting, annotations or measurements...). The image archive is set by the dataflow selected (see page 424 about available dataflows and default dataflow selection). In addition, stored images and cineloops can be saved to a removable media in the standard formats JPEG, AVI (cineloop) and DICOM (see page 274). CAUTIONDo not use the internal harddrive for long-term image storage. A formatted (see page 435) Magneto Optical Disk is recommended for image archive. CAUTIONIf working off-line with a dataflow pointing to a DICOM server, the images stored during the examination will have to be manually resent in the DICOM spooler (page 325) when reconnecting the unit. Resend all jobs that are failed or on hold (See page 325 for more information on DICOM spooler.).

Trackball to scroll through the cineloop and select the required image. 3. Press STORE. The image is stored and a thumbnail is displayed on the clipboard. The number “1” on the thumbnail image indicates that the image stored is a single frame (see Figure 8-1, page 272). Storing a cineloop A cineloop is a sequence of images recorded over a certain time frame. The time frame can be adjusted to cover one or more heart cycles. The stored cineloops are displayed chronologically on the clipboard. Cineloops can be stored at any time during the scanning session. The user can choose to preview the cineloop before storage or save the cineloop directly as described below. Preview and storage of a cineloop 1. While scanning in any mode, press FREEZE. 2. Press the Assignable CINELOOP. 3. Determine the best cineloop to store using the assignables (see page 62 for further information on cineloop operation). 4. Press STORE. The cineloop is stored and a thumbnail is displayed on the clipboard (Figure 8-1, page 272). Direct storage of a cineloop Depending on whether the system has been configured to enable or disable the Preview Loop before store function (see page 397), the following procedures enable the cineloop to be stored directly.

The secondary capture is not available when saving images as DICOM or RawDICOM. 9. Select the image compression type (JPEG or RIe) or no compression. 10. Enter in the desired Image quality (between 10 and 100). A high quality setting will give a lower compression. 11. In the Save as type field select one of the following formats: • RawDICOM: saves the still image or cineloop in both GE raw format and DICOM format. • DICOM: saves the still image or cineloop in pure DICOM format. • JPEG: saves a still image in JPEG format. • AV I: saves the cineloop in AVI format. 12. Press Save. A file is saved in the selected archive. MPEGvue MPEGvue enables the user to convert ultrasound images to MPEG format and create a CD that is readable from a regular computer. Creating a MPEGvue CD 1. Insert a formatted (see page 67) CD-R in the drive. 2. Export the actual patient records as described on page 315. Make sure to select MPEGvue as the export destination. Reading MPEGvue CD MPEGvue CD can be read form any computer with Windows 98/2000/XP, provided that DirectX 8.1 or later and Windows Media Player 7.1 or later are installed. 1.
