[Harmonic imaging in ultrasonography: basic concepts and applications].
Current ultrasound techniques using harmonic imaging are presented. Narrow-band harmonic imaging, pulse inversion and coded harmonic imaging techniques are discussed. Basic information about contrast-enhanced harmonic imaging techniques (linear and harmonic scatter, stimulated emission, Flash Echo and subharmonic imaging) is given. Principal advantages of harmonic ultrasonography and clinical indications are discussed.
