Make sure the brightness and contrast settings of the LCD display have not been
altered from proper settings. For information about LCD display settings, see
LCD Display.
To ensure the quality of the gray scale resolution of the LCD display, use the
gray scale test pattern (via the Diagnostic menu) that is available. Ensure that all
shades can be visualized, making small adjustments to brightness and contrast
from factory defaults, as required, to see all intensities.
Make adjustments to the various Doppler controls (gain, filter, scale) to attempt
to resolve the problem.
Ensure that the scanning angle between the transducer face and the direction of
blood flow is optimized.
In the on-screen menu, under the Preset tab, select one of the factory default
settings (General, etc.) to determine possible maladjustment of user presets.
Ensure that there is an adequate supply of acoustic coupling gel and good
patient/transducer contact.
Switch to a different transducer or probe port to see if the problem is with a
particular transducer or system port.
