Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI)
The transmitted ultrasound signal generates harmonics (signals at frequencies that are
multiples of the transmitted signal frequency) in tissue. Tissue harmonic imaging
processes a returned harmonic signal to enhance the displayed image. The harmonic used
for THI is twice the frequency of the transmitted signal.
Note: When the Cardiac exam is selected, lower-numbered sliders (at the left side of the
LGC Control window) control segments at the left side of the display. When any
other exam is selected, the left-right relationship between the LCG window
controls and the scan is reversed (lower-numbered controls affect the right side of
the display.)
