    1. User opinion was that, after the use of post-processing controls, a repeat scan due to unsatisfactory image quality resulting from inappropriate imaging settings was not required. Based on a sample size of n=37 users.
    2. Transducer dependent, EPIQ Elite only.
    3. When comparing release 10 performance to release 7 performance.
    4. Internal measured comparison on calibrated tissue phantom between the mC12-3 and C8-5 transducers on the EPIQ Elite ultrasound system.
