Performing a Scan
When using E mode, place a probe onto the surface of the area you wish to observe and apply periodic
compression to it. The compression should be adjusted so that the strain stays within 3 - 5 %.
Breast
A breast is a complex organ that consists of latecomer, laticifer, glandular mammaria, fatty tissues,
brous tissues and chest muscles. Moving a probe along vertically causes unintended movements
of the tissues. To observe a lesion in ElastoScanMode (E Mode), it is recommended that you
minimize lateral or other directional movements, including vertical movement of tissues along the
axis.
The following are the images of a breast tumor scanned in 2D mode and E mode.
