Best Preset for Body Part

Small Animal Preset Recommendations

Convex

Preset	Recommendations	Scanning Hints
Abdominal	25lbs and Greater POCUS Scan	Use resolution setting (link to how to adjust your image page #resolution) option for smaller animals where imaging depths are 6-9cm. If image is too grainy try NeoHead preset for small patients
Cardiac	All sizes small animal	Use resolution setting for smaller animals If using color flow use the resolution setting to change Nyquist limit (link to color flow section)
Vascular	POCUS Scan
OBGYN	25lbs and Greater POCUS Scan
MSK	Lung POCUS Scan
LUNG	Lung POCUS Scan

Linear

Preset	Recommendations	Scanning Hints
NeoHead	25lbs or Less POCUS Scan	Scan on resolution for more detail. Scan on penetration for deeper structures (5-6cm depth)
Vascular	POCUS Scan	Best color flow for superficial structures
MSK	Musculoskeletal Lung POCUS
Nerve	Musculoskeletal Lung POCUS
Lung	Lung POCUS
Small Parts	Lung POCUS 25lbs or Less Abd.
Ophthalmic	Ocular

2D Image Optimization

If image is too Grainy or Soft

Adjust frequency (resolution/penetration)
Try an alternative preset

If image is too Noisy

Decrease gain
Adjust frequency (resolution/penetration)

To improve uniformity

Adjust TGC
Adjust frequency (resolution/penetration)

Cystic/Free Fluid Imaging

Decrease Gain
Adjust frequency (resolution/penetration)

Technically Difficult Patient

Confirm best probe (Larger part – Convex) (Smaller part – Linear)
Turn on penetration
Adjust TGC
Adjust Gain
Try a different preset
