Ultrasound Display Controls - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to our series on ultrasound image processing. Today, we're going to discuss display controls in sonography. Major display controls include brightness, contrast, dynamic range, and zoom. This lesson will define each control, explain its function, and describe its impact on image quality and interpretation. Let's get started. Ultrasound imaging relies on the effective use of display controls to optimize image quality and ensure accurate diagnostic interpretation. Understanding these controls is essential for achieving optimal grayscale imaging, enhancing subtle tissue differences, and focusing on specific areas of interest. It is very important to understand that control panels may look different based on the manufacturer, so you will need to familiarize yourself with the equipment at your facility. First, let's discuss brightness, which is adjusted with the gain control. Brightness adjusts the overall light intent.
