Penetration can be improved by decreasing which setting?
In ultrasound imaging, penetration refers to the ability of the ultrasound beam to travel deeper into the tissue. Lower frequency transducers produce sound waves with longer wavelengths, which are less attenuated by the tissues and therefore can penetrate deeper into the body. Conversely, higher frequency transducers produce sound waves with shorter wavelengths that provide better resolution but are more quickly attenuated, resulting in less penetration. Therefore, decreasing the frequency of the transducer improves penetration, allowing for better visualization of deeper structures.
