Which term describes the still image captured from the live sequence by pausing display?

• A. Freeze Frame
• B. Frame Rate
• C. Edge Shadow
• D. Comet Tail

Answer: (A)

This is a freeze frame. When you pause the live ultrasound sequence, the current frame is held on the screen as a single static image that you can save or review. It’s about capturing one moment in time, not about how many images are shown per second. Frame rate, by contrast, describes how quickly frames are displayed (frames per second) and affects motion smoothness rather than creating a still capture. The other terms refer to artifacts seen on ultrasound images, not to pausing the display to take a still. A freeze frame is especially helpful for taking measurements, documenting findings, and reviewing what was seen at a specific moment.
