M Mode imaging
Motion mode (M Mode) is an extension of 2D. It
provides a trace of the 2D image displayed over
time. A single beam of ultrasound is transmitted,
and reflected signals are displayed as dots of
varying intensities, which create lines across the
screen.
To display the M-line
1 Press the
key.
M MODE
Note: If the M‐line does not appear, make sure
that the image isn't frozen.
2 Use the touchpad to position the M‐line where
desired.
3 Set options as desired.
Many optimization and depth options
available in 2D imaging are also available in
M Mode imaging. See "2D options" on
page 25.
To display the M Mode trace
1 Display the M‐line.
2
Adjust the depth if necessary. (See "To adjust
depth" on page 33.)
3 Press the
key.

The time scale above the trace has small marks
at 200ms intervals and large marks at
one‐second intervals.

CPD and color Doppler imaging
Color power Doppler (CPD) and color Doppler
(Color) are optional features.
CPD is used to visualize the presence of
detectable blood flow. Color is used to visualize
the presence, velocity, and direction of blood flow
in a wide range of flow states.
To display the CPD or Color image
1 Press the
COLOR
A ROI box appears in the center of the 2D
image.
2 Select CPD or Color.
The current selection also appears in the
upper left‐hand screen.
The Color indicator bar on the upper left‐hand
screen displays velocity in cm/s in Color
imaging mode only.
3 Using the touchpad, position or resize the ROI
box as needed. Press the
between position and size.
While you position or resize the ROI box, a
green outline shows the change. The ROI box
indicator on the left‐hand screen shows which
touchpad function is active.
