Resolution and Penetration setting
For a few presets, there is a control available in the black and
white mode for alternating between
Resolution and
Penetration settings.
Resolution setting is the default setting optimized for high
resolution imaging balancing adequate penetration for average
sized patients.
Penetration setting is useful for imaging at greater depths by
optimizing visualization of structures in the far-field in larger than
average or difficult to scan patients. An increase in penetration is
obtained at the expense of decreased resolution.
The presets that support selection of Penetration setting are
listed below.
Curved array Linear array
Abdominal Vascular
Cardiac
