Abstract

Ultrasound is a method used in medical imaging since the 1950s. It is a noninvasive, relatively cheap imaging method that has important advantages including easy to use and free of ionizing radiation. Technological developments have led to significant improvements in ultrasound imaging over time. Advances in ultrasonography imaging contain improvements in signal processing, imaging methods, and clinical practice.

Extending of the field of view (FOV) with panoramic ultrasonography, using harmonics in ultrasound imaging, integrating scans to produce a compound image, provide different color than gray with chromatic imaging, add new perspectives using volumetric ultrasound, using microbubbles to contrast enhancement, quantifying stiffness of tissue with elastography and portable ultrasound systems have been provided valuable differences in advanced ultrasound imaging.
