5-20 Image Optimization 
Operation  Press <iTouch> on the control panel to turn on the function, the symbol of 
which will be displayed in the image parameter area of the screen. 
 
5.6  Power Mode Image Optimization 
Power mode provides a non-directionally display of blood flow in the form of intensity as 
opposed to flow velocity. 
DirPower (Directional Power Mode) provides the additional information of flow direction 
towards or away from the probe. 
5.6.1  Power Mode Exam Protocol 
1.  Select a high-quality image during B mode or B+ Color scanning, and adjust to place 
the area of interest in the center of the image. 
2.  Press <Power> to enter B+Power mode. Use the trackball and <Set> to change 
position and size of the Region of Interest (ROI). 
3.  Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized images. 
4.  Perform other operations (e.g. measurement and calculation) if necessary. 
5.6.2  Power Mode Image Parameters 
  In Power mode scanning, the image parameter area in the upper left corner of the 
screen displays the real-time parameter values as follows:
