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 resolution by allowing more time for signal processing. Optimizing frame rate is crucial for effective ultrasound imaging, balancing temporal resolution with spatial detail. Understanding frame rate is key for sonographers and radiologists seeking high-quality general imaging scans.
