For an image in the traditional M mode, the M-mark line goes along the beams transmitted
from the probe. Thus it is difficult to obtain a good plane for difficult-to-image patients that
cannot be moved easily. However, in the Anatomical M mode, you can manipulate the M-mark
line to move to any position at desired angles. The system supports anatomical M scanning
(including Free Xros M mode) in 2D imaging modes (B, Color, Power and TVI mode).
Shortcut key setting
You can preset a user-defined key for entering Free Xros M mode: [Setup] -> [System
Preset] -> [Key Config], Refer to “12.1.6 Key Config” for details.
Free Xros M Imaging Procedures
1. In real-time 2D mode or M mode, adjust the probe and image to obtain the desired plane.
Or select the desired 2D cine files.
2. Click [Free Xros M] on the image menu of the B mode to enter Free Xros M mode, or
press the user-defined key.
3. Adjust the M-mark line to obtain optimized images and necessary information.
In Dual-split or Quad-split mode, it is the current activated window that enters the Free
Xros M mode.
Free Xros M imaging is supported on frozen B image, B+M image and B+Power/Color/TVI
image.
TDI (Tissue Doppler imaging) mode is intended to provide information of low-velocity and
high-amplitude tissue motion, specifically for cardiac movement.
There are 4 types of TDI mode available:
Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI): This imaging mode is used to detect tissue movement
with direction and speed information. Generally the warm color indicates the
movement towards the probe, while the cool color indicates the movement away from
the probe.
Tissue Energy Imaging (TEI): This imaging mode reflects the status of cardiac
movement by displaying the intensity of tissue, the brighter the color the less the
intensity.
Tissue Velocity Doppler Imaging(TVD): This imaging mode provides direction and
velocity information of the tissue quantificationally.
Tissue Velocity M Imaging (TVM): This function assists to observe the cardiac motion
through a direct angle. TVM mode is also called Color Tissue M mode which has
been introduced in Color M mode chapter, please refer to “5.9 Color M Mode” for
details.
Only phased probe can be applied for TDI function.
5.12 iScape
The iScape panoramic imaging feature extends your field of view by piecing together multiple
B images into a single, extended B image. Use this feature, for example, to view a complete
hand or thyroid.
When scanning, you move the probe linearly and acquire a series of B images, the system
pieces these images together into single, extended B image in real time. Besides, the system
supports out-and-back image piecing.
After you obtain the extended image, you can rotate it, move it linearly, magnify it, add
comments or body marks, or perform measurements on the extended image.
You can perform the iScape panoramic imaging feature on B (power) real time images using
all linear, convex, and phased probes.
iScape panoramic imaging constructs an extended image from
CAUTION: individual image frames. The quality of the resulting image is user-
dependent and requires operator skill and additional practice to
become fully proficient. Therefore, the measurement results can be
inaccurate. Exercise caution when you perform measurements in
the iScape mode. Smooth even speed will help produce optimal
image results.
Tips:
iScape is an optional module, the function is available only if the module has been
installed on the ultrasound system.
The display of the biopsy guideline is not allowed in iScape mode.
NOTE: 1. The measurement accuracy for the spliced image may be degraded, exercise
caution when measurements are performed on an iScape image.
2. If there is a trace during the retracing, please don’t perform measurement
across the trace.
5.13.2 Overview

structure where a view can’t be achieved by standard 2D-mode to improve understanding of
complex structures.
Terms
Volume: a three-dimensional content.
Volume data: the image data set of a 3D object rendered from 2D image sequence.
3D image (VR): the image displayed to represent the volume data.
View point: a position for viewing volume data/3D image.
Section image (or MultiPlaner Rendering as MPR): tangent planes of the 3D image
that obtained by algorithm. As shown in the figure below, XY-paralleled plane is C-
section, XZ-paralleled plane is B-section, and YZ-paralleled plane is A-section. The
probe is moved along the X-axis.

B.1 Overview
The major objective of ultrasound workflow automation (iWorks) is to speed up exam time and reduce
the excessive number of user interface manual key strokes that can lead to repetitive motion injuries
over time. It automates a clinical work flow in common exam protocols in a logical, “step by step”
manner. It also prevents missing an important part of an examination as well as decreases exam time.
A Protocol Event contains series workflow events (annotation comments, body mark and
measurements) and image modal commands to assist the user in routine ultrasound examinations.
The system provides different protocol events based on the different application regions.
iWorks is an option.
