Strip Size
Changes the relative size of the M-mode strip compared to
the reference image. Full, large, Med. and small are
available.
Side-by-side
This is an on/off control. When On, the M-Mode strip is
displayed side-by-side with the B-mode image. When Off,
the M-Mode strip is displayed below the B-mode image
Line
Persistence
The line Persistence determines how many M-mode lines
are averaged together for the display (similar to
persistence in B-Mode). Off, Low, Med. and High settings
are available.
Frequency
Frequency determines the transmit frequency used by
M-Mode. Upward presses increase the frequency.
Downward presses decrease the frequency.
Acoustic
power
Adjusts the acoustic output power of the activated
transducer. It is only available in live imaging. Higher
acoustic power numbers correspond to increased
sensitivity and penetration in the image, but the ALARA
principle should be followed in actual clinical situations.
