Superharmonic imaging uses higher harmonics like third and fourth harmonic to increase the contrast to tissue ratio compared to a second harmonic imaging mode. Second harmonic imaging is better than fundamental imaging, but has limited capabilities to discriminate between tissue and microbubbles, caused by the non-linear propagation of ultrasound.

The multiple frame trigger adjusts the acquisition of a series of consecutive frames, usually with ECG triggering. Multiple frame triggers are used in harmonic power Doppler modes to identify motion artifacts in contrast enhanced Doppler imaging.

Ultraharmonic is an oscillation at a frequency that is a rational multiple of that of its fundamental sinusoidal oscillation, for example 1.5 or 2.5 times the fundamental frequency. Ultraharmonic imaging is a method to eliminate tissue artifacts and therefore increase contrast to tissue ratio.
Also called Superharmonic Imaging.

Ultrasound is the ideal tool to examine children of all ages. It is fast, painless, uses no ionizing radiation, and does not require a baby to remain still for long periods. Real-time modes show movement of internal tissues and organs. Advanced ultrasound imaging techniques such as color Doppler, 4D ultrasound, harmonic imaging, and higher resolution, as well as the application of ultrasound contrast agents broaden the potential of ultrasound.
Pediatric [paediatric, Brit.] ultrasound can be used in all body regions and reduce the number of more invasive or radiating examinations that often additionally need sedation or intravenous iodinated contrast agents.
