Abstract
An ultrasound color flow imaging system is programmed to optimize display images on a display monitor (18) by automatically adjusting a threshold. B-mode data corresponding to valid color data is subjected to statistical analysis including mean and standard deviation (S3). The threshold is computed according to mean plus k (standard deviation), where k preferably is based on a linear regression equation.
