Optimizing M-Mode
Intended Use
M-Mode is intended to provide a display format and
measurement capability that represents tissue displacement
(motion) occurring over time along a single vector.
Introduction
M-Mode is used to determine patterns of motion for objects
within the ultrasound beam. The most common use is for
viewing motion patterns of the heart.
Typical exam protocol
A typical examination using M-Mode might proceed as follows:
1. Get a good B-Mode image. Survey the anatomy and place
the area of interest near the center of the B-Mode image.
2. Press M/D Cursor.
3. Trackball to position the mode cursor over the area that you
want to display in M-Mode.
4. Press M-Mode.
5. Adjust the Sweep Speed, TGC, Gain, Power Output, and
Focus Position, as needed.
6. Press Freeze to stop the M trace.
7. Record the trace to disk or to the hard copy device.
8. Press Freeze to continue imaging.
9. To exit, press M-Mode.
