Comparison of raster and Lissajous scans.

Raster scan Lissajous scan
Typical number of A-lines 512×512 1024 A-lines × 512 cycles
Scan time 3.3 s 5.2 s
Duty cycle 80% 100%
Artifacts before motion correction Image gaps, distortion discontinuity by abrupt motion Image blurring, and ghost image, by abrupt motion
Eye blink Not robust Robust
Residual artifacts after correction NA Small comb-like artifacts
Computational time Fast Around 70 m/volume
