Smoothing Filter (Rise and Fall in 2D image) leads to smoother flow and a good color 3D
display of vessels (e.g., filtering of high pulsatile vessels). Disadvantage: The higher the
filter setting, the longer the acquisition time.
•
Surface Mode: Displays the surface of the vessels (color signals) within the tissue
volume.
Note
If the Mix control is adjusted to 100% color, the gray scale tissue information becomes
transparent.
