M-MODE ECHOCARDIOGRPHY THE LOST ART
M-MODE PHYSICS • B mode echoes from an interface that changes position will be seen as echoes moving towards and away from the transducer. • If a trace line is place on this interface and the resulting trace is made to drift across the face of a CRT screen a motion pattern is obtained.
M-MODE PHYSICS • The resulting display shows motion of a reflector over distance and time – a distance time graph • The change in distance (dy) over a period of time dt is represented by the slope of the reflector line of motion. • dy/dt = slope = velocity
M-MODE PHYSICS • If this motion pattern is obtained on moving cardiac structures then the resulting images constitute M-mode echocardiography. • M-mode echocardiography is use to evaluate the morphology of structures, movement and velocity of cardiac valves and walls and timing of cardiac events.

M-mode at the Mitral Valve • The mitral valve has 2 leaflets – anterior and posterior. • Specific letters corresponding to systole and diastole are assigned to the m-mode tracing of the mitral valve.

M- Mode Aortic Valve
M-mode at the Aortic Valve • The aortic valve has 3 cusps – right coronary, left coronary and non-coronary cusps. • The cusps imaged in the PLAX view are the right coronary and the non-coronary cusps.
