You can adjust the angle in 2° increments
from ‐74° to +74°.
Cardiac imaging applications
You can identify the presence and location of
fluid around the heart and lungs, use to assist in
pericardiocentesis and thoracentesis procedures,
visualize blood flow through cardiac valves, and
detect normal lung motion for the presence or
absence of pathology.
To display the spectral trace
1 Display the D‐line.
2 Press the
key.
DOPPLER
The time scale above the trace has small marks
at 200 ms intervals and large marks at
one‐second intervals.
3 Do any of the following as needed:
• Set options. See "Spectral trace options"
on page 32.
• Press the
UPDATE
the D‐line and spectral trace.
• If using a duplex layout, press the
key to toggle between the
DOPPLER
full‐screen D‐line and the duplex layout.
To set a duplex layout, see "Presets setup"
on page 22.
PW Doppler options
In PW Doppler imaging, you can set the
following on‐screen options.
PW, CW
(Cardiac exam only) Toggle
between PW Doppler and CW
Doppler.
The current selection appears in the
upper left-hand screen.
Corrects the angle to 0°, +60°, or
Angle
-60°.

Gate Size
Settings depend on transducer and
exam type.
In TCD or Orb exams, use the
touchpad to specify the Doppler
gate depth (the depth of the center
of the gate in the Doppler image).
The Doppler gate depth indicator is
on the lower right-hand screen.
TDI On,
Select TDI On to turn on tissue
TDI Off
Doppler imaging. When on, TDI
appears in the upper left-hand
screen. The default is TDI off.
Available only in cardiac exams.
Steering
Select the desired steering angle
setting. Settings available depend
on the transducer. The PW Doppler
angle correction automatically
changes to the optimum setting.
• -15 and -20 have an angle
correction of -60°.
• 0 has an angle correction of 0°.
• +15 and +20 have an angle
correction of +60°.
You can manually correct the angle
after selecting a steering angle
setting. (See
on page 31.)
Available on select transducers.

Spectral trace options
In spectral trace imaging, you can set the
following on‐screen options.
Scale
Select the desired scale (pulse
repetition frequency [PRF]) setting.
