About ADF

Advanced Dynamic Flow (ADF) applies the same ultra-high bandwidth normally used in grayscale to Doppler signal processing, resulting in:

• Superior color flow application to grayscale images
• Greater sensitivity and penetration, even in the smallest microvessels
• Preserved detail as ADF closely grasps the vessel walls
• Increased accuracy, since blood flow can be demonstrated at a high frame rate
