PRELIMINARY
• Curved Anatomical M-Mode (CAMM): displays a distance/time plot from a free-drawn cursor
line. CAMM is available in greyscale, color, TVI, Tissue Tracking, Strain rate and Strain modes.
Conventional M-Mode can be combined with Color Mode.
4-3-4-2 Preparations
1) Connect one of the probes, to any of the probe connectors.
2) Turn ON the scanner.
The 2D Mode window is displayed (default mode).
3) Press MM on the Operator panel to bring up an M-Mode picture on the screen.
4) Position the cursor over the required area of the image.
4-3-4-3 Using M-Mode
4-3-4-3-1 Conventional M-Mode
1) To access M-Mode from any other scan mode, press MM on the control panel.
2) Position the cursor over the required area of the image.
3) Press Freeze.
4) Scroll through the data acquired.
4-3-4-3-2 Anatomical M-Mode
1) In M-Mode or 2D-Mode Freeze, press AMM on the Touch panel.
NOTE: Anatomical M-Mode can also be used with previously acquired digitally stored 2D images. More than
one heart cycle should be stored if performing M-Mode in post processing.
2) Position the cursor over the required area of the image.
3) Rotate the solid cursor line to the desired direction.
4-3-4-3-3 Curved Anatomical M-Mode
1) In M-Mode, press Curved AMM.
2) Position the starting point of the time motion curve.
3) Press Select to anchor the starting point of the time motion curve.
4) Position the next point of the time motion curve.
5) Press Select to anchor the point of the time motion curve.
6) Repeat step 4 and step 5 up to draw a complete time motion curve.
NOTE: The time motion curve can be edited by following the curve back to the desired point and redraw.
7) On the last point, press Select twice to terminate the curve.
NOTE: To edit the time motion curve, select a point, move it to a new position and press Select.
4-3-4-4 Optimizing M-Mode
The use of preset gives optimum performance with minimum adjustment. If necessary, the following
controls can be adjusted to further optimize the M-Mode display:
•Adjust Horizontal sweep to optimize the display resolution.
