5-6 Image Optimization 
Imaging Adjustment 
Description  More information can be obtained without moving the probe or changing 
the sampling position. 
FOV (Field 
of View) 
1.  To change the scan range, tap [FOV] on the touch screen to enter the 
FOV range and FOV position adjustment status. 
2.  Press <Set> to switch between FOV range and FOV position. 
3.  Rotate the trackball to adjust the FOV position or the FOV range. 
When the scan range is adjusted to its widest, the FOV position cannot be 
changed. 
You can get a much larger field of view when selecting a larger FOV. 
The frame rate decreases when using a larger FOV. 
B Steer  Use the <Angle/Steer> key on the control panel to adjust the steer angle. 
ExFOV 
(Extended 
FOV) 
Tap [ExFOV] on the touch screen to turn the function on/off. 
For linear probes, the ExFOV function displays as trapezoid imaging. 
For convex probes, the ExFOV function displays as extending the 
scanning angle. 
Impacts  The FOV position/range is available only for convex and phase probes. 
The ExFOV function is available only for linear and convex probes. 
The B Steer function is available only for linear probes. 
 
Line Density 
Description  The function determines the quality and information of the image.   
Operations  Adjust the line density using the [Line Density] item on the touch screen. 
There are four levels of line density available: UH, M, H, L. 
Effects  The higher the line density, the higher the resolution. 
Impacts  The higher the line density, the lower the frame rate. 
 
Dynamic Range 
Description  This function is used to adjust the B image resolution to compress or 
expand the gray display range. The real-time value displays in the image 
parameter area in the top-right corner of the screen. 
Operations  Adjust the dynamic range through the [Dyn Ra.] item on the touch screen. 
Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the value. Rotate the knob 
counterclockwise to decrease the value. 
The adjusting range is 30-240dB, in increments of 5dB. 
Impacts  The more the dynamic range, the more specific the information and the 
lower the contrast with more noise.
