Depth
In general imaging ultrasound, "depth" refers to the adjustable range at which acoustic waves penetrate tissues, directly impacting the visualization of structures within the body. Optimizing depth is crucial for capturing precise, high-resolution images. Too shallow, and deeper pathologies may be missed; too deep, and superficial details can become obscure. Effective depth adjustment ensures relevant…Read MoreFocus
In general imaging ultrasound, "focus" refers to the specific depth at which the ultrasound beam is narrowest, maximizing resolution. Adjusting the focal zone is crucial for optimizing image clarity in the area of interest. Proper focusing enhances the ability to delineate structures, detect subtle abnormalities, and achieve superior diagnostic imaging. Sonographers strategically position the focal…Read MoreResolution
Resolution in general imaging refers to the ultrasound system's ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects as separate entities. High resolution is critical for detailed diagnostic imaging, allowing medical professionals to visualize subtle anatomical structures and pathological changes accurately. Optimizing resolution enhances image clarity, aiding in the precise detection of abnormalities. Key types include…Read More
