Real-Time Imaging - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome to today's lesson on ultrasound display methods. This lesson focuses on real time imaging and the factors that give us this capability. Ultrasound imaging is a dynamic modality that allows real time visualization of internal structures. Unlike static images produced in radiographies such as radiographs, ultrasound provides continuous feedback enabling real time assessment of anatomy. Real time imaging refers to the ability of ultrasound systems to acquire and display a continuous sequence of images at a rate that captures motion effectively. This means the images are generated fast enough to create the perception of seamless movement similar to movies or television. During an ultrasound, the system captures and displays numerous images per second. These individual images are called frames. The frame rate of an ultrasound system determines how many frames are displayed per second. The more frames displayed per second, the smoother the movie on screen. Temporal
