Selecting an Imaging Mode

When the system is powered on, it automatically displays in 2D-mode. You
can change imaging modes by pressing the mode controls located on the
control panel.
The ultrasound system has the following modes available:
2D-mode – 2D-mode is the default setting. When the system is
powered on, the image screen displays in 2D-mode.
M-mode – M-mode displays a 2D image and an M-mode sweep.
Doppler – Doppler displays a Doppler spectrum with a 2D image, either
simultaneously or using the update function.
The update function toggles a frozen 2D image with a real-time Doppler
spectrum, or a real-time 2D image with a frozen Doppler spectrum.
Color – Color displays in a 2D-mode image.
Power – Power detects and assigns color to the energy generated by
the reflections of blood flow in a 2D image.

You can activate each mode of operation using the mode controls located on
the control panel. Mode-specific menus and selections display on the left of
the screen in the Image task card. Each imaging mode has a
