Image formation Clause Samples

Image formation. Combining information of image position (i.e. which transducer element has received the echo) and echo range (i.e. the time since transmission) each echo is converted into a pixel of specific brightness which is then displayed on the screen. Converting all received echoes into pixels of defined brightness and mapping them on a two dimensional screen gives rise to the B-mode image (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2003).
