Appendix I: Declaration of Conformity
Targeted molecular imaging for
visualizing and quantifying the
expression of intravascular
molecular markers — for
example: angiogenesis and
inflammation
Tumor perfusion and relative
quantification of vascular
volume and structure
Assessment of myocardial
perfusion and area of infarction
CSV
Comma Separated Value (CSV) is a
file format used to represent
database fields. Each entry of the file
represents one field and is separated
from the next field by a comma.
DICOM
Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine
(DICOM) is a comprehensive set of
standards for handling, storing and
transmitting information in medical
imaging. It includes a file format
definition and a network
communication protocol.
Dongle
A hardware device that serves as
copy protection for the software by
rendering the software inoperable
when the device is not plugged into
a USB connector.
Doppler angle
The angle between the ultrasound
pulse and the direction of blood
flow. This angle is also known as the
incident angle to flow or the angle of
insonation.
ECG
Electrocardiogram is a electronic
representation of a physiological
measurement of the electrical
potentials of heart tissue. The output
is a trace of the heart rhythm.
Focal length
The distance from the active surface
of the transducer to the middle of the
focal zone.
Focal zone
The portion of a focused ultrasound
beam which is the region of optimal
resolution. The structure of interest
is optimally focused when it is
imaged within this region.
Frame rate
The number of acquisition image
updates per second in B-Mode. A
higher acquisition frame rate is
desirable when watching a moving
structure such as the heart, or when
moving the transducer.
M-Mode
M-Mode is used primarily to
measure the movement of structures
in the heart such as valves,
chambers, and walls.
MIP (Max)
Maximum Intensity Persistence
highlights the denser portions of the
volume by bringing them forward in
the image and making them brighter.
This more clearly displays a small
bright object in the middle of a dark
ultrasound image.
