5-18 Image Optimization 
5.7.1  Basic Procedures for Power Mode Imaging 
1.  Select a high-quality image during B + Color scanning, and adjust to place the area of 
interest in the center of the image. 
2.  Click [Power] on image menu to enter B + Power mode. Roll the trackball to change 
position of the Region of Interest (ROI) and press the <Set> key to set. Roll the trackball 
to change the size and position of ROI. 
3.  Adjust the image parameters during B + Power mode scanning to obtain optimized 
image. 
4.  Perform other operations (e.g. measurement and calculation) if necessary. 
5.7.2  Power Mode Image Parameters 
  In Power mode scanning, the image parameter area in the upper right corner of the 
screen displays the real-time parameter values as follows: 
Pulse Repetition 
Frequency (PRF) 
  In Power mode, acoustic power is synchronous with that of B mode. Adjustment of the 
depth to the B mode image will lead to corresponding changes in Power mode image. 
Parameters consistent with those in Color mode and B mode are not to be introduced, 
please refer to relevant sections of the Color mode and B mode, while special items of the 
Power mode are introduced in the following. 
 
5.7.3  Power Mode Image Optimization 
Power Gain 
Refers to the overall sensitivity to flow signals, and this function is used to 
adjust the gain in Power mode. 
The real-time gain value is displayed in the image parameter area in the upper 
right corner of the screen. 
Rotate the <Gain/iTouch> knob to adjust the gain. 
The adjusting range is 0-100. 
Increasing the gain will increase the flow signal presented as well as noise, 
while the signals may be missing when the gain is adjusted too low. 
 
Power Map 
This feature indicates the display effect of Power image. 
The maps in the Power mode image are grouped into two categories: Power 
maps and Directional Power maps.
