Topic #: 1
The ability to resolve two separate reflectors perpendicular to the path of the beam describes which type of resolution?
Lateral resolution describes the ability of an ultrasound system to distinguish between two structures that are side by side (perpendicular to the path of the ultrasound beam). This type of resolution depends on the beam width; narrower beams provide better lateral resolution. As the ultrasound beam travels deeper into the tissue, it generally widens, which can reduce lateral resolution. Techniques such as focusing the beam can help improve lateral resolution at specific depths by narrowing the beam width.
