Description
The Dynamic Range, or log compression, adjusts how echo
intensities are converted to brightness. A high dynamic range will
display more shades of gray, while a low dynamic range will display
fewer shades of gray and a more contrasty image.
eSRI is Speckle Reduction Imaging. There are 4 levels: Off, Low,
Med and High. High level provides more aggressive speckle
reduction.
