Frequency (1) Adjust the frequency depending on the suspicious lesion’s depth. Lower frequency enhances sensitivity of the elastogram.
Scale (2) Adjust the scale depending on user’s compression speed. Perform two compressions per second (scale value between 0.1-0.18). For different speed, decrease the scale for slower technique and increase for faster. Additionally, deeper lesions demand harder and slower compression, decrease for this case.
Frame Average (3) Adjust the frame average inversely to scale. Decrease when scale is increased and increase when scale is decreased.
Frame Reject (4) Adjust the frame reject especially in Abdominal scanning (A weak signal is most often seen in ABD scanning when compressions are controlled by the internal body movement). Decrease frame reject to acquire an elastogram with lower than max quality at the quality bar but still a good elastogram.
