SonixTouch Research Basics

Overview
Using the SonixTOUCH Research system is quite simple once the functions and basic concepts have been learned.

Operational Modes
There are two general modes of operation that the SonixTOUCH Research can run; Clinical Mode and Research Mode. Clinical mode puts the system in standard diagnostic mode without any research capabilities, and Research Mode puts the system in a mode where special parameters and imaging modes can be accessed. To switch between the two modes, ensure the following steps are performed:
 * Press Q button on the console to enter the QSonix screen
 * Click Select Protocol
 * Choose the Research protocol, which will layout the touchscreen appropriately
 * Press the Research button on the touchscreen to toggle the operational mode
