Imaging modes
To switch from 2D to M Mode, press and hold 2D; press and hold M to return
to 2D.
 2D (default) – This mode displays echoes in two dimensions by assigning a
brightness level based on the echo signal amplitude.
 M Mode (Motion Mode) – This mode provides a trace of the image displayed
over time. A single beam of ultrasound is transmitted, and reflected signals
are displayed as dots of varying intensities, which create lines across the
screen.
 Color – This mode is used to visualize the presence, velocity, and direction of
blood flow in a wide range of flow states. To go to Color mode, tap Color on
the wheel while in 2D.
Performing a basic scan
In SonoSite iViz, the active imaging mode is always highlighted in blue so you
can tell what imaging mode you are using. For example, in Color mode, both
the 2D and Color buttons are highlighted in blue.
Adjusting gain and depth

buttons to increase/decrease scan depth (or tap one of the dots for specific
