Butterfly Network iQ - Using Modes; Using B-Mode; Using Color Doppler Mode or Power Doppler Mode; Using M-Mode

6. Using Modes
This chapter provides information and instructions for using modes when performing an ultrasound study.
NOTE
• Advanced imaging capabilities may vary depending on the selected preset and status of paid
subscription. Please visit support.butterflynetwork.com for the latest details on which preset has
access to which modes.
• Butterfly iQ/ iQ+ or any ultrasound system used for rupture screening of silicone gel-filled breast
implants is suitable for asymptomatic patients only. For symptomatic patients or patients with
equivocal ultrasound results for rupture at any time postoperatively, an MRI is recommended.
6.1. Using B-Mode
The B-Mode is the default image displayed when selecting a preset. The brightness of the individual pixels indicates
the strength of the echo reflected signal from the tissue. Some presets, such as Cardiac, have multiple versions of
the B-Mode which can be accessed through the presets filter button
. One of those presets is called Coherence

,
which uses a different method for calculating the brightness of the pixels based on how much the different signals
measured at the aperture are similar to each other, resulting in further suppression of the clutter. Tapping on the
filter button again changes the B-Mode image to the standard B-Mode, giving the user the control over the preferred
image to use for diagnosis.
6.2. Using Color Doppler Mode or Power Doppler Mode
When using Color Doppler or Power Doppler, you can:
• Adjust the size and position of the ROI.
• Adjust the Gain and Depth.
• Adjust the Scale (also known as Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)) to optimize for high or low flow by touching
the High/Low control at the bottom of the screen
The ROI is displayed on the image. To move the ROI, tap and drag the box.To adjust the angle and size, use the
arrows provided.
Color gain and depth controls are available during Doppler imaging.
6.3. Using M-Mode
M-Mode display includes speed controls (Fast or Slow), the M-Mode line, B-Mode image, and a move point to move
the M-Mode line.
When using M-Mode, you can:
• Adjust the radial scan line by tapping and dragging the move point:
• Adjust the sweep speed of the M-Mode display by touching the Fast/Slow control in the middle of the screen

Cardiac Coherence is not available in all countries.
