Question: 1 / 400

How can the color fill of a blood vessel be improved during an exam?

Change the steering of the color box.

To improve the color fill of a blood vessel during an exam, changing the steering of the color box is the correct option. By adjusting the steering of the color box, the ultrasound beam can be directed more accurately towards the blood vessel, enhancing the color fill and providing a clearer image of the blood flow.

The other options are not directly related to improving the color fill of a blood vessel during an exam:

- Increasing the output power can lead to tissue damage and is not recommended.

- Decreasing the color gain may result in a weaker signal and poorer image quality.

- Changing the window so the vessel is shallower does not directly address improving the color fill but rather the depth of the vessel being imaged.
