Compounding - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to our course on ultrasound image processing. In this lesson, we will explore spatial and frequency compounding, two powerful techniques used to enhance ultrasound images by reducing artifacts and improving imaging resolution. Understanding these techniques while considering potential trade offs is essential for sonographers as they help refine diagnostic imaging. Let's get started. First, let's define compounding. Spatial compounding and frequency compounding use very different techniques to improve the diagnostic quality of an ultrasound image. While the techniques differ, both reduce artifacts and improve image resolution. By integrating multiple images taken from different angles or frequency ranges, this technique produces a more refined final image that allows for clearer visualization of anatomical structures. The ability to minimize
