Image Optimization 5-29
5.8 Anatomical M Mode
Anatomical M Mode and Color Anatomical M mode images are
provided for reference only, not for confirming a diagnosis. Please
compare the image with that of other machines, or make diagnosis
using none-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 that cannot be
moved easily. However, in the Anatomical M mode, you can manipulate the M-mark line to move 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) → [System]
→ [Key Config], Refer to ―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. Click [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 current activated window that enters the Free Xros M
mode.
Free Xros M imaging is supported on frozen B image, B+M image and B+Power/Color/TVI image.
5.8.1.2 Free Xros M Image Parameters
During Free Xros M mode imaging, menus of image optimizing 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 clicking the mode tabs.
While imaging in freeze mode, menus of image optimization 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 clicking the mode tabs.
Parameters consistent with those in M mode are not to be introduced, please refer to relevant
section of the M mode, while special items of the Free Xros M mode will be introduced in the
following.
