ABSTRACT
The transducers/arrays described in Chapter 3 are used to generate and receive ultrasound signals required to form an image. In this chapter, other crucial components of an imaging system that generates, processes, and displays the ultrasound signal into an image are discussed. Typically, the image is displayed in gray scale. It can also be represented by such formats as rainbow or heated object scale depending upon the preference of the manufacturer and the clinical need. It must be stressed that these images yield mostly information about the anatomy of the imaged object. Various modes of ultrasound imaging have been used over the years.
