[Intl_DxMedPhys] Ultrasound Display Test pattern help for Siemens and Canon

[Carver, Diana E]

Chris is correct. I just wanted to add that on some Siemens models, the monitor test patterns are located under “Tune up” under Local Service, whereas on some others it is much more obvious where to find them.

For the Siemens units you can upload the patterns in the local service. Local service option is under one of the tabs under the settings button that looks like a cog wheel.  Once the local service browser launches, you can go through without a password and there is place for monitor/display images.

Hope this helps, reach out to me if you run into any issues and I can try to help.

It’s been a while since I tested a Siemens unit, but I think that, like all the other Siemens modalities, you can import images from a flash drive.

Hi List, We are having trouble finding test patterns on Siemens Acuson Juniper and Canon Aplio i700 Ultrasound machines that we can use for Display testing. TG18, TG270, SMPTE type patterns. Can anyone share this information with me? Kind regards,
