Optimizing the Image
LOGIQ V2/LOGIQ V1 – User Guide 2-3
Direction 5610736-100 Rev. 9
Frequency Yes Switch the frequency.
Steer Yes You can slant the B-Mode or Color Flow acoustic beam without
moving the probe. The steer function only applies to linear probes.
Virtual Convex Yes On Linear and Sector probes, Virtual Convex provides a larger field
of view in the far field.
CrossXBeam is available on Virtual Convex with linear probes.
TGC No TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation
caused by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are spaced
proportionately to the depth. The area each pot amplifies varies as
well. A TGC curve may appear on the display (if preset), matching
the controls that you have set (except during zoom). You can
choose to deactivate the TGC curve on the image.
Width Yes You can widen or narrow the size of the sector/convex angle to
maximize the image's region of interest (ROI).
Tilt Yes You can steer the sector angle to get more information without
moving the probe while in B-Mode, M-Mode, Doppler Mode, and
Color Flow Mode.
NOTE: Tilt is not available on linear probe.
NOTE: Tilt is available when CrossXBeam is off.
Revert No Flips the image 180 degrees left/right.
Dynamic Range No Dynamic Range controls how echo intensities are converted to
shades of gray, thereby increasing the adjustable range of contrast.
Line Density Yes Optimizes B-Mode frame rate or spatial resolution for the best
possible image.
Gray Map No The system supplies B, M, and Doppler Mode system maps.
Frame Average No Temporal filter that averages frames together, thereby using more
pixels to make up one image. This has the effect of presenting a
smoother, softer image.
Colorize No Colorize is the colorization of a conventional B-Mode image or
Doppler Spectrum to enhance the user's ability to discern B, M, and
Doppler Mode intensity valuations. Colorize is NOT a Doppler
Mode.
NOTE: You can colorize real-time or CINE images or Timeline
CINE.
Colorizes the gray scale image to enhance the eye's discrimination
capability. Spectrum Colorize colorizes the spectrum as a function
of power using the inverse of the Colorize map for the signal
intensity in each Doppler line. Colorize enhances the visibility of the
spectrum's characteristics and enhances your ability to identify
spectral broadening and the edge contours of the spectrum used to
define the peak frequency/velocity.
The colorize bar displays while Colorize is activated.
