Controls
Cardiac primary
With Color active, touch PW, CW, or MMode to go into PW Color, CW Color,
or MMode Color (combination) mode. The second mode control (PW, CW, or
MMode) is highlighted, and the Color touch control is outlined by a box,
indicating that Color mode is still active. To exit the combination mode, touch
Color. Now the Color touch control is highlighted, indicating that only Color
mode is active.
Baseline Unwraps aliased signals. Shows higher velocities
flowing in one direction by lowering color assignments
for velocities flowing in the other direction.
B/W Suppress Suppresses the black-and-white image that appears
outside of the color image, thereby increasing the frame
rate. Available with sector and curvilinear array
transducers.
Color Compare Displays grayscale and color versions of an image side
by side.
Color Suppress Removes color from an image while remaining in
Color mode. Frame rate is unaffected.
Density Trades off resolution versus frame rate by varying line
density. Not available in Tissue Doppler mode.
Filter Removes low-level signals and reduces noise in the
image.
Focus Repositions the acoustic depth of the color focal zone.
When adaptive flow is on, the focus chooses the
optimal color frequency.
Frame Rate Trades off resolution for frame rate. Values are 1–5.
Higher values indicate higher frame rates. Only
available in Tissue Doppler mode.
