Matrix Array 2D Utilization

Tri-plane: 3 simultaneous 2D images to be obtained
– With and without color
– May set the image TEE rotational angle
• Allows simultaneous ME 4ch, ME 2ch, ME LAX

Bi-Plane: Two 2D orthogonal simultaneous views.
– Allows second orthogonal plane to be defined
on first plane image
– Second plane able to steer/adjust
– With and without color
