The database contains measurement information that is used by the acoustic power control technique to determine optimal transmit parameters for a given imaging situation. The optimal parameters are determined by adjusting the measured database parameters through the use of the current scanning parameters to maximize system performance. Utilizing system constraints, the acoustic power control technique computes the optimal transmit parameters to maximize system performance. | |
