Abstract
An operator adjusted lateral gain control (LGC) structure for an ultrasound imaging system, which may already include an operator adjusted time gain compensation (TGC) gain control structure. The LGC structure enables an operator to adjust the gain of one or more scan lines independently of the gain of at least one other scan line, said gain as a result of the LGC control being substantially constant along said one or more scan lines.
