Optimizing PW/CW Doppler modes
The use of preset gives optimum performance with minimum
adjustment. If necessary, the following controls can be adjusted
to further optimize the PW/CW modes display:
NOTE: Refer to ‘Generating a new preset’ on page 12-90 about
creating presets
• Adjust the Active mode gain to set the gain in the spectral
Doppler area.
• Adjust Low velocity reject to reduce unwanted low velocity
blood flow and tissue movement.
• In PW mode, adjust Sample volume to low setting for better
resolution, or higher setting to more easily locate the
disturbed flows. Adjustment of the Sample volume may
affect the PRF (Nyquist limit) settings.
• Adjust the Compress setting to balance the effect of
stronger and weaker echoes and obtain the desired intensity
display.
