5.3 M Mode Image Optimization
5.3.1 Basic Procedures for M Mode Imaging
1. Select a high-quality image during B mode scanning, and adjust to place the area of interest in
the center of the B mode image.
2. Press <M> on the control panel, and roll the trackball to adjust the sampling line.
3. Press <M> on the control panel again or <Update>to enter M mode, and then you can observe
the tissue motion along with anatomical images of B mode. During the scanning process, you
can also adjust the sampling line accordingly when necessary.
4. Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized images.
5. Perform other operations (e.g. measurement and calculation) if necessary.
5.3.2 M Mode Image Parameters
In M mode scanning, the image parameter area in the upper right corner of the screen displays
the real-time parameter values as follows:
During M mode imaging, menus for B mode and M mode are displayed on the touch screen at
the same time. You can switch between the 2 modes by clicking the mode tabs.
During M mode scanning, frequency and acoustic power of the probe are synchronous with
that of B mode.
Adjustment of the depth, focus position or TGC to the B mode image will lead to synchronous
changes in M mode image.
