Which type of zoom is a preprocessing function that provides more pixels in the region of interest, resulting in superior spatial resolution?

  1. Read magnification

  2. Read zoom

  3. Temporal resolution

  4. Write zoom

The correct answer is: Write zoom

Write zoom is a preprocessing function that provides more pixels in the region of interest, resulting in superior spatial resolution. This type of zoom works by increasing the number of pixels dedicated to a particular area of the image, allowing for greater detail and clarity in that specific region. On the other hand: - Read magnification refers to the postprocessing function where an area of interest on the image is enlarged by resampling pixels, which does not affect the original image's spatial resolution. - Read zoom is not a standard term in the field of diagnostic medical sonography. - Temporal resolution refers to the ability of an imaging system to capture moving objects accurately over time, which is unrelated to spatial resolution or zoom capabilities.
