5.11.2. Elastography Image Optimization
The following touch controls can be used to optimize the Elastography image.
Adjusts the opacity feature of Elastography image. Four levels
are available. Higher level provides more opacity.
Adjusts smoothness of Elastography image. There are 4
options: Off, Low, Med., and High. Higher filter levels provide a
smoother image.
Adjusts the postprocessing map used on Elastography image.
Persistence averages frames together to reduce random noise
of Elastography image. 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.
Inverts the Elastography color bar, and therefore inverts the
colors of stiffer tissue and softer tissue.
Only displays Elastography image.
Displays an Elastography image below a B-mode image.
Displays a B-mode image and an Elastography image side by
side.
