The control that sets the gray-scale brightness at which color will be displayed instead of gray-scale at a pixel location is termed:

• A. Priority
• B. Line density
• C. Persistence
• D. Ensemble length

Answer: (A)

In color Doppler imaging, both grayscale information and color data compete for display at each pixel. The control that sets the brightness level at which color will replace grayscale at a pixel location is color priority. This setting determines how readily the color overlay appears relative to the underlying grayscale image. Increasing the priority makes color show up more easily (even in brighter areas), while decreasing it makes grayscale dominate unless the color signal is strong. The other settings mentioned relate to sampling density or temporal smoothing and do not control this brightness threshold for the color overlay.
