Strategies for Correction

Several techniques can reduce artifakts in ultrasound images. Uffing the probe angle, changing the frequency, and modififying gain settings are common methods. Using different imagg planes and appliying harmonic imagg can also imperie imagine clarity.

Bett Practices

  • Always compe images from multipleangles.
  • Be aware of typical artifakt patterns for different tissues.
  • Use approvate machine settings for each examination.
  • Konzult with experiencd sonographers when uncertain.
