The Field of View control adjusts the image width. Full, Large,
Med. and Small settings are available. As the image becomes
narrower, the frame rate increases.
The Steer control is only available for linear transducers and steers
the B-mode image left or right, without moving the transducer. This
function can be particularly useful when visualizing needles or
other objects that are enhanced by a perpendicular beam. Steer is
not available if Spatial Compounding, Trapezoid or Panorama are
turned on.
The Trapezoid control activates the trapezoidal imaging on linear
transducers. It is a part of the B-mode function and available in live
imaging.
The Panorama control invokes the Panorama function. See
section 5.1.4 for details.
B-mode supports presets for Detail, General, and Penetration. See
section 8.3.1.1 for more information.
The Frame Rate control adjusts the tradeoff between frame rate
and spatial resolution. Higher settings provide higher frame rates
and improved temporal resolution.
