Adding Comments to an Image
Annotation Retention
Annotations from the B-Mode images are retained and carried 
over when switching to multi-image format or duplex mode.
The position of the comments is adjusted so that it is at the 
same relative position with respect to the display window in the 
new format as it was in the single image format.
NOTE:  Annotations may not be retained when the image is switched to 
M-Mode image format depending on the preset. 
Arrows and Pointers
Arrows and pointers can be used by activating the F2 (Arrow) 
key on the keyboard. When the pointer comes up, it is a GREEN 
color, indicating it is active and can be moved.
•  Move the pointer using the Trackball to any place on the 
screen. The pointer head direction can be controlled by how 
the trackball is moved.
•  To readjust the length and thickness of the pointer, use the 
Arrow Resize rotary control. The default for the pointer size 
can be preset.
• Press Set to fix the place of the pointer and direction of the 
pointer head. The GREEN color turns to YELLOW (or the 
default color if changed).
•  To delete all arrow marks, Press the Clear key right after 
pressing the F2 (Arrow) key.
NOTE:  This action clears the arrows only, not the comments on the 
screen. To erase all annotations as well as arrows, press the 
Clear key right after the Comment key.

Text Overlays
There are 2 layers of the text in annotations, which can be 
selected by toggling the F8 (Text1/Text2) key on the keyboard. 
Text1 is the default choice.
By using this function, users can perform a HIDE TEXT/SHOW 
TEXT, allowing the users to save or printing an image without 
clearing the typed text.
Annotating an image using the library
Press Comment and move the annotation cursor location using 
the Trackball.
Select the desired library fields from the Touch Panel.
Annotation Library
on Touch PanelTo reduce the amount of time spent annotating an image, store 
frequently-used annotations in the Annotation Library. As many 
as 6 libraries are available per study. One of the selected 
libraries is designated as the default and its entries shall be 
displayed on the Touch Panel when the annotation mode is 
entered for that study.
Each Touch Panel key can also be configured to hold a small list 
of up to 3 annotations. The first word in the list is displayed on 
the Touch Panel and the others can be accessed by toggling the 
key or pop-up menu. To show the presence of a small list stored 
under a particular key, a small indicator (>) is placed on the key.
To program your system with specific annotations, See 
‘Annotations Libraries Presets’ for more information.

Annotations appear on all prints, photos, and VCR recordings.
 Figure 6-4. Next Line Word Wrap
If the cursor appears at the right edge of the lowest line, or a 
word cannot be completed in the lower right corner, word wrap 
cannot be executed.
NOTE:  The same word wrap principles apply for library scripts as typed 
comments.

Body Patterns
An additional way to annotate the image display is with body 
patterns.  Body patterns are a simple graphic of a portion of the 
anatomy that is frequently scanned. The body pattern and probe 
marker can serve as a reference for a patient and probe 
positioning when images are archived or scanned.
To activate body patterns, press the Body Pattern/Ellipse 
control. A maximum of 6 body pattern packages are displayed 
on the Touch Panel according to exam category and preset. 
Refer to Figure 6-5.
The body pattern packages may be customized to 
accommodate user preference. Up to 30 individual body 
patterns in the packages can be changed. See ‘Body Pattern 
Libraries/Applications Preset Menu’ for more information.

Select the desired body pattern on the Touch Panel.  The 
selected body pattern is displayed on the monitor.
Press the Move Pattern control on the Touch Panel to

A probe mark is associated with the body patterns and illustrates 
the probe position on the body pattern.  This marker can be 
placed with the Trackball and rotated with the Body Pattern/
Ellipse control.
The probe mark type is selectable by rotating the Probe Type 
control on the Touch Panel. There are different choices available 
with one being a blank selection.
To select the active side in dual B-Mode, use the Active Side 
rotary control at the bottom of the Touch Panel.
To display the patient position at the corner on the body pattern, 
use the Patient Position rotary control at the bottom of the 
Touch Panel. There are 4 selections available: SP, PP, LP, and 
UP.
Press the Body Pattern/Ellipse control to erase the body 
pattern. The pattern is erased and the system exits the body 
pattern mode.
Press Set on the keyboard or Scan on the Touch Panel to exit 
without erasing the body pattern.
