Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effect of main parameters of influence on quality image of ultrasound examinations. The study has been carried out by using the simulation software Field II in order to obtain ultrasound images with controlled characteristics and compare their quality varying the number of scatters and the signal frequency.
