“Did you know” quick tips

Harmonics – what is it and should I be using it?
Tissue harmonics allows the ultraosund to identify tissue better and reduce artifact or “noise” in the image. It does this by sending and receiving signals at 2 different ultrasound frequencies. So with harmonics on, a probe would emit a frequency of 2 MHz, but receive it back at 4MHz. This improves image quality because body…
Don’t forget the linear probe…

The first image is a feline spleen imaged with the C11, the second is the same spleen with the L14. This spleen is mildly enlarged with uniform, but subtly micronodular parenchyma, and…
