5-28 Image Optimization
5.8 Anatomical M Mode
CAUTION:
Anatomical M Mode and Color 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.
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 (including Free Xros M mode and Free Xros CM mode)
in 2D imaging modes (B, Color, Power and TVI mode).
Shortcut key setting
You can preset a user-defined key for entering Free Xros M mode: [Setup] (F10)Æ
[System]Æ [Key Config.]. See “12.1.6 Key Configuration” for details.
Free Xros M imaging and Free Xros CM imaging are options.
5.8.1 Free Xros M Imaging (Anatomical M-Mode)
5.8.1.1 Basic Procedures for Free Xros M Imaging
1. In real-time 2D mode or M mode, adjust the probe and image to obtain the desired
plane.
Or select the desired 2D cine files.
2. Tap [Free Xros M] on the touch screen of the B mode tab to enter Free Xros M mode,
or press the user-defined key.
3. Adjust the M-mark (single or multiple) line to obtain optimized images and necessary
information.
In Dual-split or Quad-split mode, it is the currently activated window that enters the
Free Xros M mode.
Free Xros M imaging is supported on frozen B images, B+M images and
B+Power/Color/TVI images.
5.8.1.2 Free Xros M Image Parameters
During Free Xros M mode imaging, the image optimizing menus for B mode and
Free Xros M mode are displayed on the touch screen at the same time. You can
switch between the 2 modes by tapping the mode tabs.
Parameters consistent with those in M mode are not to be introduced. See the
relevant M mode section, while Free Xros M mode special items will be introduced in
the following.
