Abstract
An ultrasound color flow imaging system is programmed to operate in an adaptive manner. The operational adjustments are made based on the system gain setting or the transmit packet size or both. Based on these operator inputs, the transmit burst length is adjusted for optimum operation. In addition, the transmit peak amplitude and the bandwidth of the receive filter are adjusted as a function of the burst length adjustment.
