Mindray Consona N6 - 6.6 Color M Mode (CM); 6.7 Anatomical M Mode

6 Image Acquisition
Operator’s Manual 6 - 15
M Soften
This feature is used to process the scan lines of M images to reject noise, making the image details
to be clearer.
0 represents the function is disabled. The bigger the value is, the stronger the effect becomes.
6.6 Color M Mode (CM)
To know the cardiac motion state, CM is overlaid with flow based on M mode, which is more
sensitive to the instantaneous signal changes. Then, it shows the diagnosis information in detail.
The Color M mode includes Color Flow M mode and Color Tissue M mode.
TIP:
• Linear probe does not support Color M mode.
• Only phased probe supports color tissue M mode.
6.6.1 CM Image Scanning
Perform the following procedure:
1. To enter Color Flow M mode:
– In B+M mode, press <C>.
– In B+Color, press <M>.
2. To enter Color Tissue M mode:
– Press the user-defined <TDI> key on color flow M mode, or tap [TDI] on the touch
screen, and then press <M> or <Update>.
– In B+TVI/TVD, or B+TVI+TVD mode, press <M>.
3. Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized images.
4. Exit Color M Mode
Press <C> or <M> on the control panel to exit Color M mode.
Or, press <B> on the control panel to return to B mode.
6.6.2 CM Image Parameters
In Color Flow M mode, parameters that can be adjusted are in accordance with those in B, M and
Color modes; please refer to relevant sections of B, Color and M mode for details.
In color tissue M mode, parameters that can be adjusted are in accordance with those in B, M and
Color modes; please refer to relevant sections of B, Color and M mode for details.
The ROI size and position determine the size and position of the color flow displayed in the color
M mode image.
• Set the position of the sampling line by moving the trackball left and right.
• Press <Set> to switch the cursor status between the ROI position adjustment and ROI size
adjustment.
6.7 Anatomical M Mode
For an image in the traditional M mode, the M-mark line goes along the beams transmitted from the
probe. Thus it is difficult to obtain a good plane for difficult-to-image patients who cannot be
moved easily. However, in the Anatomical M mode, you can manipulate the M-mark line and move
