Background:
The application of high end ultrasound platforms increases the quality of sonographic images. New software developments like Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) have improved the resolution of images and help to better visualize anatomic findings. Photopic-mode uses color-coding to gain contrast.
Methods:
This investigation compares the use of the Photopic-software in comparison to conventional B-mode. The ultrasound platform Sonoline Elegra was used.
Results:
The Photopic-mode revealed in 8 of 40 patients a slight improvement within image quality. However, the use of Photopic-mode did not lead to other diagnostic results.
Conclusion:
Ultrasound investigation with Photopic-mode can be a useful supplement to the conventional B-mode-sonographic examination in selected cases by gain in contrasting. A disadvantage of the Photopic-mode is that it cannot be used simultaneously with color Doppler-mode examination.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
