Ultrasound Focusing - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to our course on the qualities of sound beams in sonography. In this lesson, we will discuss the importance of focusing in ultrasound imaging and how it enhances image resolution and clarity. Understanding how focusing operates in different ultrasound systems, including older models with fixed focus techniques and newer models with electronic focusing, is essential for optimizing image quality in clinical practice. Let's get started. First, let's describe focusing. Focusing in ultrasound imaging is a critical process that enhances image resolution and clarity by concentrating the ultrasound beam at a specific depth within the patient's body. Proper focusing improves lateral resolution, which is the ability to distinguish two structures that are side by side. Understanding how focusing operates in different ultrasound systems, both older models with fixed focusing techniques and newer models with electronic
