Yes Depth controls the distance over which the B-Mode images anatomy.
To visualize deeper structures, increase the depth. If there is a large
part of the display which is unused at the bottom, decrease the
depth.
No B-Mode Gain increases or decreases the amount of echo
information displayed in an image. It may have the effect of
brightening or darkening the image if sufficient echo information is
generated.
Yes Increases the number of focal zones or moves the focal zone(s) so
that you can tighten up the beam for a specific area. A graphic caret
corresponding to the focal zone position(s) appears on the right
edge of the image.
No Auto Optimize (Auto) lets you optimize the image based upon a the
actual B Mode image data (Auto Tissue Optimize, ATO). The preset
levels (Low, Medium, and High) allow you to pick a preference for
the contrast enhancement in the resulting image. Low does the least
amount of contrast enhancement, high does the most.
Auto is available in single or multi image, on live, frozen or CINE
images (in B-Mode only), while in zoom, and in Spectral Doppler.
Auto in PW Doppler Mode optimizes the spectral data. Auto adjusts
the Velocity Scale (live imaging only), baseline shift, dynamic range,
and invert (if preset). Upon deactivation, the spectrum is still
optimized.
No Displays the M/D-Mode cursor on the B-Mode image.
