Magnification is used to improve
Means that a portion of the image is
Visualization of a portion of an image
Enlarged to fill the entire screen
Selection of portion that is magnified
ROI - Region of interest
This is performed while the data is being read in, before stage in the scan converter
Write Magnification
What are the steps of write magnification
Scan
Convert A to D and store data in scan converter
Identify ROI - System discard data in scan converter
System rescans only region of interest and writes new data
Characteristics of Write Magnification:
Image used to -
Number of pixels or scan lines -
Increased number of
Used to identify ROI is discarded
In ROI image is greater than that of the ROI portion in original image
Pixels in ROI improves spatial resolution
Is performed after the image is stored in the scan converter
Read magnification
Steps for read magnification
Scan patient
Convert A to D; Store data in scan converter
Sonographer select ROI; System reads and displays only that info
Characteristics of read info:
Number of pixels in magnified images -
Spatial resolution -
Can be done on
Same as original
Does not change & pixels are larger in zoomed in image than original
Frozen image
What is shown to the sonographer by instrument
Display
What is recorded by the instrument for future reference
Storage
