Spatial
Compounding
Spatial Compounding combines images fired from multiple
angles to reduce speckle, reduce shadow artifacts, and
enhance contrast. Spatial compounding is an on/off control.
Focus Number
Focus Number adjusts the number of foci is displayed. As the
number of foci increases, image uniformity across depth will
increase, but the frame rate will decrease.
Focus Position
Focus Position adjusts the depth of the focus or foci. Upward
presses move the focus shallower, regardless of the U/D invert
status of the image.
Gray Map
Gray Map adjusts the post processing map used on the B-mode
image. In general, higher map numbers correspond to more
contrast in the image.
Colorize
The Colorize control adds a color tint to the B-mode image.
Tint
The Tint control changes the color tint being used. If Colorize
had been off, changing the Color map control will automatically
activate it.
Left/Right
The Left/Right invert control is indicated by a backward R and is
used to toggle the left/right orientation of the image. The Edan E
orientation marker at the top of the image switches with the
left/right invert to match the orientation marker on the
transducer.
Up/Down
The Up/Down invert control is indicated by an upside-down R
and is used to toggle the up/down orientation of the image. The
TGC curve is also re-oriented with Invert On, so that the top of
the TGC curve corresponds to the top of the image on the
screen.
FOV
The Field of View control adjusts the image width. Full, Large,
Med. and Small settings are available. As the image becomes
narrower, the frame rate increases.
