Scaling Linear Transducers
This option works with linear transducers; it does not work with curved transducers. When
you select a small depth, the Terason software retains the same width as the original scan,
and removes the scan data from greater depths.
To scale the image to take advantage of the full width of the Image Display tab, you can
select the
Scale linear images for maximum width
checkbox. When you do, the Terason
software scales the image (while maintaining the same aspect ratio) to fill as much of the
window as possible.
The following figure shows the difference between unscaled and scaled linear arrays.

Setting the Units for Patient Measurements
When entering a patient’s height and weight, you can choose English units (feet, inches,
and pounds), or metric units (meters and kilograms).
Choosing Color Maps for Exams
For Color Doppler mode, you can choose whether Color Doppler data is shown in the
standard Rainbow color map, or a Red-Blue color map. You can configure the color map
independently for each exam by selecting an exam, then a color map. You do not need to
click
Save
or
Apply
to set the color map. When you select a different exam, the Terason
software loads the color map for the selected exam.
The Dialysis Access exam uses the Red-Blue color map as its default; all other exams use
the Rainbow color map as the default
