Profile Settings

This is the Profile Settings menu. Every shot in SmartDR can be uniquely customized in this menu, but be careful as some changes may have adverse affects on image quality. If you're unsure, reach out to a Sound Customer Support rep.

tip

Changes you make to a shot are specific to patient size. Many settings have a Copy to all sizes button if you want those changes to be applied to all patient sizes.

Patient Sizes​

  • Small : Less than 20 lbs (9.072 kgs).
  • Small Medium : Greater than or equal to 20 lbs (9.072 kgs), less than 45 lbs (20.412 kgs).
  • Medium: Greater than or equal to 45 lbs (20.412 kgs), less than 80 lbs (36.287 kgs).

Each shot has many different settings. They are broken up into three sections: Imaging profile, Image Tuning, and Generator Settings. You can collapse or expand a section by clicking the arrow button next to it.

The Integrated Generator tab will only be visible if Generator Integration is properly configured within the software.
