6 Image Acquisition
V 1:1
This function is to display images in vertical format in the dual-split mode. After the feature is
enabled, one image appears above, and the other image appears below.
In the dual-split mode, tap [V 1:1] to enable this function.
B Display
To turn on or off the B image display as Color imaging remains active.
Dual
To enter the Dual-split display mode, and to switch between the windows.
6.3 Power Mode
Power mode provides a non-directional display of the blood flow in terms of intensity as opposed to
flow velocity.
DirPower (Directional Power mode) provides additional information of the flow direction toward
or away from the probe.
In Power mode, the acoustic power is synchronous with that of B mode. Adjustment of the depth to
the B mode image will lead to corresponding changes in Power mode image.
6.3.1 Power Mode Image Scanning
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select a high-quality image during B mode or B + Color scanning, and adjust to position the
area of interest in the center of the image.
2. Tap [Power] to enter Power mode.
3. Change the size and position of the ROI.
– Tap the corner of the ROI and drag to change the size.
– Tap inside the ROI box and drag to change the position.
4. Tap [Image] to open the image menu. Adjust the parameters to optimize the image.
6.3.2 Power Mode Image Parameters
Because both are based on Doppler color imaging, the adjustments of Power mode are same with
these of Color mode’s. Hence, only the adjustments of Power mode are introduced.
Power Gain
Refers to the overall sensitivity to flow signals, and this function is used to adjust the gain in Power
mode. The real-time gain value is displayed in the image parameter area.
Steer
The feature is used to adjust the ROI of the color flow of different angles with immobility of the
linear probe.
Scale
This function is used to adjust the speed range of color flow, which is adjusted through PRF in the
system. The real-time PRF value is displayed in the image parameter area.
