The Debrief
Pearl #1: Good image quality is not just helpful for you to make better diagnoses, but for everyone to be able to make those diagnoses with you.
Pearl #2: Have what you are looking for in the center of the screen, as big as possible, and as smooth and as clear as possible.
Pearl #3: Think about depth, gain, focus, and sector width every time you are imaging a body structure.
