Adjusts the current postprocessing, either grayscale or tinted.
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how signal
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 Doppler
display.
Sweep adjusts the sweep speed of the Doppler strip. Options of
Slow, Low, Med, High and Fast are available. Upward presses
increase sweep speed. Downward presses decrease sweep
speed.
Changes the relative size of the Doppler strip compared to the
reference image. Full, Large, Med. and Small are available.
Volume adjusts the audio volume of the Doppler strip. This can
be adjusted in pre-Doppler to set the initial volume upon
invoking Doppler acquisition.
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activated transducer. It
is only available in live imaging. Higher acoustic power numbers
correspond to increased sensitivity in the Doppler display and
improved penetration, but the ALARA principle should be
followed in actual clinical situations.
