Contrast Agent Imaging Option
WARNING: Carefully follow the manufacturers' instructions for use, including indications and
contraindications, when administering ultrasound contrast agents.
Compatible transducer: 4C1

Supported studies: Abdomen, Renal, Gynecology, Pelvis
Compatible transducer: 9L4

Supported studies: All except Fetal Echo, Obstetrics, Pediatric Abdomen, and Pediatric Hip
Compatible transducer: EC9-4, MC9-4

Supported studies: Prostate
Compatible transducer: 6C1 HD

Supported studies: Abdomen, Renal
Supports the following acquisition techniques: Contrast Pulse Sequencing (CPS), Agent

Detection Imaging (ADI)
– CPS is a low Mechanical Index continuous real-time, non-linear imaging technique
that provides contrast-to-tissue specificity.
–
ADI is a high Mechanical Index imaging technique that uses the emission properties of
contrast agents to characterize their presence or absence in the tissue.
Supports the following contrast agent destruction techniques: Burst, Micro-Bubble

Destruction (MBD)
–
Burst is a high Mechanical Index technique designed to rapidly destroy the injected
contrast agent bubbles for a view of re-perfusion immediately afterwards.
– MBD is a high Mechanical Index non-imaging mode technique for rapid destruction of
contrast agent.
