Anatomical M-Mode
M-Mode applied to TVI, Tissue Tracking, Strain rate, Strain or
intensity data (Contrast) calculates and color/codes data
accordingly along a path drawn by the operator.

path.
3. Move the cursor to the location for the next anchoring point
of the path and press Select.

M-Mode profile. By creating more than two anchor points,
the user can bend the path and obtain a curved anatomical
M-Mode profile.

backward and retrace the path.
4. To end the trace press Select twice (double clicking).
The color-coded display of the corresponding data
calculated along the path is shown in the Analysis window.
