Effective utilization of the entire range of probe frequencies allows Medison to attain superior image quality throughout the field of view. Full Spectrum Imaging (FSI) incorporates the penetration capabilities associated with lower frequencies, yet maintains the fine pixel uniformity associated with higher frequencies to deliver consistent high quality images on even the most challenging of patients.

Traditionally, grayscale ultrasound image quality has been determined by a specific frequency or by a limited range of frequencies surrounding the center frequency of the probe. This (frequency) concept has been utilized for many years, even though sonographers and physicians recognize the associated limitations and “trade-offs”; specifically the compromised relationship existing between frequency and resolution, as well as the relationship between frequency and penetration.

Incorporating innovative probe designs and advanced wideband digital signal processing, Full Spectrum Imaging is able to surpass many of the limitations associated with conventional grayscale imaging. Full Spectrum Imaging does more than simply collect the wide spectrum of frequencies, FSI dissects and interrogates the complex returning signals into specific sub-bands, then filters and reassembles the signal for more uniform pixel display and more optimal image resolution.

Experienced physicians and sonographers acknowledge the importance of utilizing the correct probe frequency for a specific examination; recognizing when using conventional ultrasound lower frequencies produce coarser images with lower image quality, while higher frequencies produce images of higher quality and finer pixel patterns. Full Spectrum Imaging has surpassed many of these conventional limitations utilizing advance signal processing resulting in superior pixel uniformity throughout the ultrasound image, with enhanced contrast resolution and improved signal to noise ratio.
