SONOVIEW
SONOVIEW is an integrated image management program in ACCUVIX A30. It provides image saving/ filing, preview, delete, and other PC-compatible export features.
The image file types used in this product follow the international standard DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine). As a result, the PACS (Picture Archiving Communication System) can be implemented in the ACCUVIX A30 without any additional costs, and it’s easy to exchange image files with other hospitals or pieces of equipment.
This product supports the Bitmap file format (.bmp), which is most commonly used on standard PCs, ensuring easier exchange of image data.
Starting SONOVIEW
Press the SONOVIEW button on the control panel. The system will switch to the SONOVIEW screen.
If there are saved images available for the current exam, the information and saved images for the exam appear when SONOVIEW starts.
WARNING: Make sure to register a patient before saving images or using SONOVIEW.
All diagnosis information in the product is saved and managed for each patient ID. As a result, saving images without entering a patient ID may result in a loss of and/or critical errors in previously saved images.
