5-12 Image Optimization
Edge Enhance
Description
This function is used to enhance the image profile so as to distinguish the image
boundary for optimization.
Operations
Adjust using the [Edge Enhance] item or the mapping-menu item on the touch screen.
There are 3 levels of edge enhance adjustment available: the bigger the value, the
stronger the effect.
Impacts
Larger edge enhance may lead to increased noise.
Dynamic Range
Description
This function is used to adjust the M image resolution to compress or expand the gray
display range.
The real-time dynamic range value is displayed in the image parameter area in the
top-right corner of the screen.
Rotate the knob under the [Dyn Ra.] item or the mapping-menu item on the touch
screen.
The adjusting range is 30-240dB.
The more the dynamic range, the more specified the information.
M Soften
This feature is used to process the scan lines of M images to reject noise, making
image details clearer.
Adjust using the [M Soften] item or the mapping-menu item on the touch screen.
The system provides 4 levels of M Soften adjustment: the bigger the value the stronger
the effect.
Time Mark
To show the time mark in M mode image.
Turn on or off the function through [Time Mark] item in the menu in the upper left corner
of the screen.
When time mark is displayed on the M mode image, it's much easier to identify the
cardiac cycles and detect more details.
Impacts
The function is available in real-time imaging, freeze or cine review status.
5.4 Color Mode Image Optimization
The Color mode is used to detect color flow information, and the color is designed to judge the direction
and speed of blood flow.
Generally, the color above the color bar indicates the flow towards the probe, while the color below the
color bar indicates the flow away from the probe. The brighter the color, the faster the flow speed, while
the darker the color, the slower the flow speed.
