Destroy
Time
Adjusts the time length for destroying the residual
microbubbles.
Frequency
Frequency determines the transmit frequency used by Contrast
Imaging mode. Upward presses increase the frequency.
Downward presses decrease the frequency.
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 sensitivity and penetration in the
image, but ALARA principle should be followed in actual
situations.
eSRI
eSRI is Speckle Reduction Imaging. There are 4 levels: Off,
Low, Med and High. High level provides more aggressive
speckle reduction.
Persistence
Persistence averages frames together to reduce random noise.
There are 4 options: Off, Low, Med., and High. The persistence
level corresponds to the number of frames averaged. The frame
rate is unchanged; as each new frame is acquired, it is
averaged with the preceding frames.
Dynamic
Range
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how echo
intensities are converted to brightness. A high dynamic range
will display more shades of gray, while a low dynamic range will
display fewer shades of gray and a more contrasty image.
Tint
The Tint control changes the color tint being used on Contrast
image.
