How does adjusting the focus control affect your image?
Understanding the focus The word focus has a variety of meanings, some examples are ‘the centre of interest or activity’,
The impact of overall gain (OG) and Time Gain Compensation (TGC) controls on your image
Ultrasound Signal Amplification, better known as Gain: The term ‘Gain’ refers to the amplification (boosting/increasing) of the intensity of the
How to use the depth and zoom controls and the benefits of getting it right
Depth The depth control determines the maximum depth of tissue displayed on the screen but not how far the ultrasound beam travels
Which transducer/probe to use and why. The compromise between depth and image resolution
Frequency To appreciate why we choose a particular transducer for the specific subject you want to image, it is important
The importance of transducer and image orientation
All transducers have an orientation marker which represents the side of the probe from which elements are ‘fired’ first in any given
Ultrasound transmission
Ultrasound Transmission Ultrasound waves travel in a longitudinal plane, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation (direction)

Ultrasound generation and how images are formed
What is Ultrasound? Ultrasound (US) is high frequency sound (pitch) which is above the audible range of human hearing. The
