Display Modes
The 3 basic modes of display
What are A-mode, B-mode, and M-mode?
A-mode display looks like a "big city skyline"
True
With A-mode, what is displayed on the y-axis?
Amplitude of the reflected signal
What is A-mode?
B-mode stands for "brightness mode"
True
Time
What is reflector depth?
Depth of the reflector is seen on the x-axis of m-mode
False,
The y-axis
Which mode provides the foundation for real-time, gray scale anatomic imaging?
B-mode or brightness mode
Only mode that provides information about a reflector's changing location with respect to time
What is m-mode?
M-mode (what each axis represents)
X-axis: time
Y-axis: depth
Z-axis: none
True
With A-mode, what is displayed on the x-axis?
Depth of the reflector
The amplitude information of a B-mode is routed into the
What is the Z-axis?
A-mode was the first form of gray scale imaging
False,
B-mode and is the basis for all other types of gray scale imaging
With B-mode, which axis is related to the strength of the reflection?
Z-axis
