Steer
The Steer control is only available for linear transducers and
steers the B-mode image left or right, without moving the
transducer. This function can be particularly useful when
visualizing needles or other objects that are enhanced by a
perpendicular beam. Steer is not available if Spatial
Compounding, Extended FOV or Panorama is turned on.
Panorama
The Panorama control invokes the Panorama function. See
section 5.10 for details.
Image Type
B-mode supports presets for Detail, General, and Penetration.
Line Density
Adjusts the line density to optimize the lateral resolution for the
best possible image. The higher the line density, the higher the
lateral resolution, but the lower the frame rate.
Single
Press to display the currently active side of Dual image as a
single image.
Dual
Press to activate dual imaging mode. See section 7.3.1 Dual
Imaging for details.
Quad
Press to activate quad imaging mode. Refer to section 7.3.2
Quad Imaging for details.
3D/4D
Press to activate 3D/4D imaging mode. Refer to section 5.9
3D/4D mode for details.
Acoustic power
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activate transducer. It
is only available in live imaging. Higher acoustic power numbers
correspond to increased sensitivity in the image with improved
penetration, but the ALARA principle should be followed in
actual clinical situations.
