The amount of tissue included in the image is referred to as?

• A. Field of view
• B. Brightness
• C. Contrast
• D. Resolution

Answer: (A)

Field of view describes the extent of the scene captured by the imaging system—the amount of tissue visible in the image. When you adjust the field of view, you change how large or small the imaged area is, which directly determines how much tissue appears on the screen. Brightness affects how light or dark the image is, contrast refers to the difference between light and dark areas, and resolution is about how finely you can distinguish small details. So, the term that best describes how much tissue is included in the image is field of view.
