Slow, Low, Med, High and Fast are available. Upward presses
increase sweep speed. Downward presses decrease sweep
speed.
Strip Size
Changes the relative size of the Doppler strip compared to the
reference image. Full, Large, Med. and Small are available.
Volume
Volume adjusts the audio volume of the Doppler strip. This can
be adjusted in pre-Doppler to set the initial volume upon
invoking Doppler acquisition.
Acoustic
Power
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activated transducer. It
is only available in live imaging. Higher acoustic power numbers
correspond to increased sensitivity in the Doppler display and
improved penetration, but the ALARA principle should be
followed in actual clinical situations.
