US Tissue Harmonic and Spatial Compound Imaging: What Are They and How Do They Change the Image?

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to clarify the concepts of tissue harmonic and spatial compound imaging in ultrasound (US) and their impact on image quality. They explore how these advanced imaging techniques, which have been in clinical use for over two decades, can enhance image clarity by reducing noise and artifacts, both individually and in combination. The paper addresses the ongoing uncertainty in the understanding and application of these imaging methods in clinical practice.
