1. A system for adjusting the dynamic range for use in an ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system, comprising: a noise analysis processor responsive to noise detected at a plurality of scanning regions, the noise analysis processor developing a noise signature corresponding with changing scanning coordinates and determining a maximum available dynamic range based on the noise signature; and an ultrasonic processor coupled to the noise analysis processor, the ultrasonic processor having a dynamic range that is adjusted as a function of the determined maximum available dynamic range.
