Without this knowledge, it is impossible to consistently optimize images, and unskilled manipulations may misrepresent diagnostic information and result in missed diagnoses. This chapter describes the controls found on most ultrasound machines, how they affect the image, and how they are used to optimize the ultrasound image. Table 3-1 presents the most commonly used controls for two-dimensional (2D) imaging.
