Frequency
Frequency determines the transmit frequency used by color
Doppler. Upward presses increase the frequency. Downward
presses decrease the frequency.
Image Type
Color Doppler supports image presets for Low Flow, Medium
Flow, and High Flow.
Dual Live
To activate split screen with simultaneous live B/Color and live
B. The live B image without color and the same live B image
with color are simultaneously displayed on each side of the
image field.
Freezing the image will freeze both sides simultaneously.
Cine review will review both sides simultaneously.
Dynamic
Range
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how echo
intensities are converted to brightness. A high dynamic range
presents a flatter, less contrasty color display, while a low
dynamic range presents a more contrasty color display. Only
available in PDI/DPDI mode.
Line Density
Adjusts the line density to optimize the lateral resolution for the
best possible image. The higher the line density, the higher the
lateral resolution, but the lower the frame rate.
Acoustic
power
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activated transducer. It
is only available in live imaging. Higher acoustic power numbers
correspond to increased color sensitivity and penetration, but
the ALARA principle should be followed in actual clinical
situations.
