In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of image manipulation, focusing on the critical differences between pre-processing and post-processing techniques. Discover how pre-processing enhances image quality by compensating for sound wave attenuation and improving uniform brightness. Learn about the irreversible nature of pre-processing and how it adjusts grayscale values to match human perception.

Additionally, we delve into post-processing, where changes can be undone, increasing the versatility of displayed images. Understand how post-processing magnifies specific areas for better visualization and creates three-dimensional images from two-dimensional ones. The episode highlights the timing and impact of each method on image quality, providing a comprehensive overview for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
