Abstract: A medical diagnostic imaging system and method for adjusting image gain compensation when changing from a first imaging state to a second imaging state, where a first image power value is determined from an image acquired in a first imaging state with a first image gain compensation, a second image power value is determined from an image acquired in a second imaging state with an initial second image gain compensation, an image power change value is determined from the first image power value and the second image power value, and an adjusted second image gain compensation calculated from the initial second image gain compensation and the image power change value.

Abstract: In a medical diagnostic imaging system, a method for adjusting image gain compensation during a transition from a first imaging state to a second imaging state, including the steps of determining a first image power value based an image acquired in a first imaging state with a first image gain compensation; determining a second image power value based on an image acquired in a second imaging state with an initial second image gain compensation; determining an image power change value based on the first image power value and the second image power value; and determining an adjusted second image gain compensation based on the initial second image gain compensation and the image power change value.
