Abstract
The importance of S-shaped amplification characteristics for echographic tissue diagnosis has been recognized for many years. The significance of the S-shaped amplification curve has been discussed extensively and has been generally accepted in the field of ophthalmic ultrasound. But little consideration has been given so far to the clinical significance of details of the S-shaped curve. As a consequence, instrument designs with varying shapes of S-curves and varying totals and distributions of dynamic ranges have been introduced without repeating the success in tissue diagnosis obtained with the standardized 7200 MA Kretztechnik.
