6 Image Acquisition
Edge Enhance
This function is used to increase image profile, so as to distinguish the image boundary.
Larger edge enhance may lead to noise increase.
Dynamic Range
Adjusts contrast resolution of an image, compresses or expands gray display range. The real-time
dynamic range value will be displayed on the image parameter area on the top of the screen.
M Soften
This feature is used to process the scan lines of M images to reject noise, making the image details
to be clearer.
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.
Free Xros M imaging is an option.
