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 axial, lateral, and contrast resolution, each contributing to overall image quality in ultrasound. Understanding resolution is vital for effective general imaging, improving diagnostic confidence and patient care.
