1. Device Overview
The S1 Veterinary Ultrasound System is a versatile, portable diagnostic tool designed for abdominal organ examination, obstetrics, and superficial structure imaging in animals, including cattle, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, camels, and more. It features high-resolution imaging, multi-mode measurements, and image optimization, with a user-friendly interface tailored for diverse clinical needs.
Key Specifications
Display: 5.6-inch LED medical screen (256 grayscale levels)
Probe Types: Convex/linear array (optional rectal, backfat, and specialty probes)
Frequency Range: 2.0MHz–9.0MHz (covers superficial to deep scanning)
Storage: 32GB (supports 255-frame cine review)
Battery Life: ~3 hours (2600mAh battery)
Languages: Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.
2. Basic Operations
(1). Power On/Off
Power On: Press the Power Button on the right panel to activate the interface.
Power Off: Hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to shut down.
Battery Indicator:
The bottom status bar displays battery level. A flashing icon indicates low battery; recharge immediately.
Use the 14V charging port. The LED turns red during charging and green when fully charged.
(2). Interface Layout
Right Panel: Adjustment buttons for gain, depth, focus, etc.
Left Arrow Keys: Navigate and adjust parameters.
Bottom Status Bar: Shows time, date, current depth, body marker, and battery level.
Function Buttons:
Freeze Button (top-left): Pauses real-time imaging for settings adjustment.
Cine Review Button (bottom-right): Replays saved clips (up to 255 frames).
Save/Browse Button (bottom-right): Saves images or accesses stored data.
Key Operational Guidelines
(1). Probe Selection and Switching
Applications:
Convex Probe (3.5MHz): Abdominal scans for large animals (e.g., cattle, horses).
Linear Probe (7.5MHz): Superficial structures (e.g., musculoskeletal or ocular scans in dogs/cats).
Rectal Probe (6.5MHz): Reproductive or digestive tract exams in large animals.
Steps:
Press the Freeze Button to pause imaging.
Navigate to “Other Settings” → “Probe Options” using arrow keys.
Select the target probe (e.g., “Rectal Probe”) and confirm with the OK Button.
Restart the device to activate the new probe.
(2). Image Optimization Techniques
(1) Adjusting Gain and TGC
Overall Gain (0-255): Start at mid-range (~128). Adjust based on tissue echogenicity:
Fluid-filled areas (e.g., bladder): Reduce gain (appears black).
Dense tissues (e.g., liver): Increase gain (uniform gray).
Time Gain Compensation (TGC):
Near Field Gain (-31~0): Reduce brightness to avoid overexposure.
Far Field Gain (0~31): Amplify deep tissue signals for balanced imaging.
Example:
For bladder scans, decrease far-field gain to compensate for acoustic enhancement.
(2) Setting Focus and Depth
Electronic Focus: Use 4-segment focus adjustment. Align the target area with the on-screen focus marker (side arrow).
Depth Control:
Target organs should occupy 3/4 of the screen (e.g., canine kidney at 5-8cm depth).
Higher frequencies (7.5MHz) for shallow structures; lower frequencies (3.5MHz) for deep scans.
(3) Post-Processing Tools
Edge Enhancement (0-3): Improves boundary clarity (recommended: Level 2).
Color Maps (24 options): Highlight blood flow or specific echoes（e.g., “Blue Map” for hypoechoic contrast).
3. Special Functions
(1) Obstetric Measurement Packages
Procedure:
Select the animal type (e.g., “Cattle”).
Activate the Obstetric Measurement Button and choose parameters (e.g., BPD, CRL).
Mark measurement points; the system calculates gestational data automatically.
(2) Backfat Measurement
Modes:
Auto Mode: Position the probe over the backfat area for automated thickness detection.
Manual Mode: Mark subcutaneous fat-muscle boundaries manually.
(3) Puncture Guidance
Enable puncture lines and adjust angles/positions for real-time needle path visualization.
4. Maintenance and Precautions
Probe Care:
Clean probes after use; avoid impact.
Disinfect rectal probes before storage.
Data Management:
Regularly export data via USB to free up storage.
Troubleshooting:
Blurry images: Check probe contact or restart the device.
Parameter errors: Use “One-Key Reset” to restore defaults.
5. Clinical Tips
Large Animals: Use 3.5MHz convex probe with 15-20cm depth.
Small Animal Emergencies: Enable high frame rates (≥60Hz) to minimize motion artifacts.
Teaching: Utilize cine review for frame-by-frame pathology analysis.
