right and left arrow keys to select a different value.
To set the correction angle to 0 or 60º, click the 0/+-60 button. This button sets the
correction angle to –60, 0, or 60, whichever value is closer to the current value. The
correction angle control is active on frozen and live images.
The following figure shows adjustments made to the correction angle and sample volume:
60 Angle, 4.5 mm (Left) and 45 Angle (Right)
Inverting the Waveform
You can invert the Pulsed Doppler waveform. The Doppler scale is separated by a zero
baseline across the width of the spectral display. (See
The data above the baseline is classified as forward flow. The data below the baseline is
classified as reverse flow.
When the waveform is inverted, reverse flow displays above the baseline and forward
flow is below the baseline.
To invert the waveform, click the Invert button.
You can only use this control when viewing a live image. When an image is frozen, you
cannot change this setting.
