Image Optimization 5-27
5.7 Color M Mode
Color M mode provides information about color flow or tissue on the M mode images to
indicate the cardiac motion state. It is highly sensitive to the flow or tissue movement.
The Color M mode includes Color Flow M mode and Color Tissue M mode.
CM mode is not available for linear probes.
5.7.1 Enter Color M Mode
Color Flow M Mode
z In B + M mode, press <Color> on the control panel to enter the sampling line
adjustment status, and press <M> again.
z In B + Color, B + Color + PW or B + Color + CW mode, press <M> twice on the
control panel.
Color Tissue M Mode (TVM)
z In B + TVI/TVD, or B + TVI + TVD mode, press <M> twice on the control panel.
z In Color Flow M mode, press user-defined key for TDI on the control panel
(Assign a key as user-defined TDI: the setting path is "[Setup]Æ[System]Æ[Key
Config]", see “12.1.6 Key Configuration” chapter for details) or tap [TDI] on the
touch screen to enter the sampling line adjustment status, and press <M> again.
5.7.2 Exit Color M Mode
Press <Color> or <M> on the control panel to exit Color M mode.
Or, press <B> on the control panel to return to B mode.
5.7.3 Color M Mode Image Parameters
In Color Flow M mode, the parameters that can be adjusted are the same as those in
B, M and Color modes. See the relevant B, Color and M mode sections for details.
In Color Tissue M mode, the parameters that can be adjusted are the same as those
in B, M and TVI modes. See the relevant B, M and TVI mode sections for details.
In Color M mode scanning, the image parameter area in the top-right corner of the
screen displays the real-time parameter values.
ROI Adjustment
The ROI determines the size and position of the color flow or color tissue displayed
in the Color M mode image.
z Set the position of the sampling line by moving the trackball left and right, and
set the ROI position by moving the trackball up and down.
z Set the ROI size by moving the trackball.
z Press <Set> to switch the cursor status between ROI position adjustment and
ROI size adjustment.
Press <Update> on the control panel to switch between the real-time mode and
freeze mode.
