5.1.2. B-mode Image Optimization
The following touch controls can be used to optimize the B-mode image.
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.
Lateral Gain Control (LGC) adjusts the gain along the scan line
to improve the lateral resolution of the image. Press LGC touch
screen key to display 8 gain control sliders. Move the slider
downwards to decrease the gain, while move the slider upwards
to increase the gain.
eSRI is Speckle Reduction Imaging. High level provides more
aggressive speckle reduction.
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.
