appear only when the image is frozen.

Color Allows you to select Color , Color Power Doppler ( CPD ), or
Variance . On the P21xp transducer in the Cardiac exam type,
Variance is available instead of CPD . CPD shows amplitude and is
useful for very low flow states. Variance displays a color map that
shows regurgitant jet turbulence. The highest velocities appear as
green.
Flow State Lets you adjust the sensitivity of color parameters or settings to
enhance the flow state. The system initially selects a setting based
on the exam type.

High optimizes for high flow states such as cardiac. The High
setting minimizes flash artifacts.

Medium optimizes for medium flow states such as abdominal or
arterial flow.

Low optimizes for low flow states such as breast or
musculoskeletal.
For a more precise setting, adjust the Scale control.
Scale Sets the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). Tap this control, and
then tap
Up or Down .
Wall Filter Helps to filter out echoes from low frequency signals.
Tap to select the strength of the filter:
Low , Med , or High .
