Image Quality Tips
- Ensure proper patient positioning for optimal acoustic windows
- Use adequate amount of ultrasound gel to avoid air gaps
- Select correct transducer (linear for superficial, convex/phased for deep structures)
- Adjust depth so the region of interest is centered on the screen
- Optimize gain and time-gain compensation (TGC) for balanced brightness
- Set appropriate focal zone at or just below the structure of interest
- Use harmonic imaging for improved contrast (if available)
- Reduce artifacts by ensuring steady probe contact and avoiding excessive pressure
- Check Doppler angle (< 60°) for accurate velocity measurements
- Regularly clean the probe surface to avoid image distortion
