5-4 Image Optimization 
Effects 
The higher the frequency the better the near field resolution but the worse the 
force of penetration. 
Harmonic imaging enhances near field resolution and reduces low-frequency 
and large amplitude noise, so as to improve small parts imaging. 
A. power 
Refers to the power of ultrasonic wave transmitted by the probe, the real-time 
value of which is displayed in the image parameter area in the upper left corner 
of the screen. 
Adjust through the [A.Power] item in the image menu; 
Generally, increasing the acoustic power will increase the brightness and 
contrast of the image as well as the force of penetration. 
You should perform exams according to actual situation and follow the ALARA 
Principle. 
Focus 
Refers to adjustment of focus of the ultrasonic beams, symbols as " " of 
which will be displayed on the right of the image. 
Adjust the focus number through the [Focus Number] in the menu; 
Adjust the focus position through the [Focus Position] in the menu; 
The area that is focused will be of a higher contrast and resolution to provide 
a much clearer image. 
The greater the number of focus, the slower the frame rate to image. 
Imaging Display Adjustment 
More information can be obtained without moving the probe or changing the 
sampling position. 
of View) 
1.  To change the scan range, click [FOV] on the image menu to enter the 
FOV range and FOV position adjustment status.   
2.  Press <Set> to switch between adjusting FOV position and FOV range.   
3.  Rotate the trackball to adjust FOV position or the FOV range. 
When the scan range is adjusted to the widest, the FOV position cannot be 
The FOV position/range is available only for the convex probes. 
This function is to steer the beam transmitted by the probe. 
Adjust it by pressing <Steer> key on the control panel or click [Steer] on the 
image menu.   
Steer is available only for linear probes. 
Click [ExFov] on the image menu to turn on/off the function. 
For linear probes, the ExFOv function displays as trapezoid imaging. 
For convex probes and phased probes, the ExFOv function displays as 
extending the scanning angle. 
You can get a much larger field of view when selecting a larger FOV, but the 
frame rate will decrease. 
Line Density 
The function determines the quality and information of the image.
