emphasizes certain regions of the signal amplitude range. This feature is useful for close
viewing of certain anatomical features and for detecting subtle pathologies.
To change the number of gray levels, click the down arrow next to the Map
field. You can
choose any of eight maps, labeled from
A to H.
Choosing an Image Map in the I.Q. Window
You can also select Image > Map to choose a different image map setting.

The image information display on the scan window includes a code such as
C/2/A below
the transducer identification. In the
C/2/A example, the third item (A) is the Map value.
Note: The change in image quality from one map to the next is not a linear sequence.
Observe the reference bar to see the effect of the various maps. (See Image Map
Reference Bar, below.)
