Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic system is provided which automatically sets up the TGC characteristic to be used for a given ultrasound examination. Upon user selection of a particular ultrasound application, a setup controller accesses a predetermined TGC characteristic for the selected application. The predetermined TGC characteristic is used to control the gain of a TGC amplifier and is also displayed to the user. By adjustment of a series of TGC controls the user can vary the TGC characteristic from the predetermined characteristic.
