B-Mode Optimization
Most commonly used parameters Description
Focus is the area where the sound beam is concentrated to better enhance detail in the image.
Focus Place the Focal Zone at or below the area of most interest. You can add additional focal zones.
The frame rate will be affected by the number of focal zones used.
Range is dependent on probe and system. Use higher frequency for thinner/smaller patients, lower
Frequency frequency for thicker/larger patients. Use lower frequency for deeper structures, higher frequency
for more superficial structures.
Auto Optimize (22) Optimizes contrast resolution by changing the gray scale to match the image data.
An adaptive algorithm to help reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the image. Image speckle
Speckle Reduction (SRI) usually appears as grainy texture in otherwise uniform areas of tissue. SRI may be used on any
probe or in any clinical application.
Combines three or more frames from different steering angles into a single frame. May help reduce
