Ch.11 Display Modes

what are the three basic modes of display or formats of viewing ultrasound

amplitude mode, brightness mode, and motion mode

how does A-mode appear

a series of upward spikes

what does the x axis represent on a-mode

represents reflector depth

what does the y axis represent on a-mode

strength, or amplitude of the reflected signal

an a-mode display looks like what

a big city skyline

B-mode appears as

a line of dots varying brightness

b-mode is the same as saying

grayscale imaging

M-mode is primarily used in what speciality

cardiac sonography

M-mode appears as

a group of horizontal wavy lines

what does the x axis represent in M-mode

time

what does the y axis represent in M-mode

reflector depth

what does the x axis of B-mode represent

reflector depth

what does the z axis of B-mode represent

amplitude
