System
Overview
The HD3 system, shown in Figure 1-1, is intended for general imaging. The cart is ergonomically
designed to be both highly mobile and adjustable for a range of users and operating conditions.
The HD3 system uses an embedded computer featuring the Linux operating system.
HD3 operators can measure anatomical structures and generate reports for health-care profes-
sionals. The system has a basic set of imaging modes and measurement tools and supports up to
five transducers. There are optional modes and measurement tools that are available only when
a specific mode or an analysis package is purchased and enabled for customer use. Options and
upgrade security is controlled through the use of system-specific passwords and software.
