Dual
To enter the Dual-split display mode, and to switch between the windows.
6.5 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.
6.5.1 CM Image Scanning
Perform the following procedure:
1. To enter CM mode:
– In B+M Mode, tap [Color].
– In B+Color, B+ Color+ PW mode, tap [M].
2. Tap [Image] to open the image menu. Adjust the parameters to optimize the image.
6.5.2 CM Image Parameters
In CM 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.
6.6 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
it to any position at desired angles. The system supports anatomical M scanning in 2D imaging
modes.
Anatomical M Mode images are provided for reference only, not for confirming
diagnoses. Compare the image with those of other machines, or make
diagnoses using non-ultrasound methods.
6.6.1 Linear Anatomical M (Free Xros M)
Free Xros M imaging is supported on frozen B image, B+M image and B+Power/Color image.
Perform the following procedure:
1. Adjust the probe and image to obtain the desired plane in real-time B mode or M mode.
Or select the B mode cine file to be observed.
2. Tap [Free Xros M] to enter Free Xros M mode.
3. Adjust the sampling line to obtain optimized images and necessary information.
– Position Adjustment: When the M-mark line is activated, tap the dotted circle and drag the
sampling line to change the position. The direction is recognized by the arrow at the end
of the line.
