Stories That Inspire Global Impact

Dynamic range in general imaging ultrasound refers to the system's ability to display a wide range of echo intensities, from the brightest to the dimmest. This crucial setting optimizes image quality by adjusting the compression of the received signals, enhancing contrast and detail. A higher dynamic range displays more shades of gray, which can reveal…

Frequency, a critical concept in general imaging ultrasound, refers to the number of sound wave cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz). In medical imaging, higher frequencies offer superior spatial resolution, providing sharper, more detailed images of superficial structures like skin, muscles, and small vessels. Conversely, lower frequencies penetrate deeper into the body, making them…

Frame rate, in general imaging ultrasound, refers to the number of individual images (frames) captured or displayed per second. A higher frame rate provides smoother, more real-time visualization of moving structures like blood flow or cardiac motion, enhancing diagnostic accuracy in general imaging. Conversely, a lower frame rate can appear choppy but may improve image…
