Echocardiographic Imaging Sony’s Digital Video LoopTM, model SME-CINE-32, enables the cardiolo- gist to see real-time results from ultra- sound stress tests. The system captures up to 64 video frames of a single heart- beat from videotape or live ultrasound examination, digitizes the frames, then displays them one by one or in an end- less loop at continuously variable speeds for purposes of evaluation and compari- son. Full, split and quad-frame screen modes permit the display of a full cardi- ac cycle or the juxtaposition of up to 4 images-different heart chambers, for example, under stress and at rest.

Phased Array Color Flow lmager The Sonoline CF provides a dynamic method for studying the spatial distri- bution of blood flow in the heart by superimposing color-encoded blood flow information over 2-dimensional echoes and conventional M-mode dis- plays.

The system offers 2-dimensional sec- tor, M mode, pulsed Doppler and con- tinuous-wave Doppler imaging. In addi- tion, it displays multiple modalities si-

multaneously and includes a digital frame tine loop for rapid review of car- diac images in all modalities as a stan- dard feature.
