Color M Mode
Color M mode provides information about color flow or tissue on the M mode images to
indicate the cardiac motion state. It is highly sensitive to the flow or tissue movement.
The Color M mode includes Color Flow M mode and Color Tissue M mode.
CM mode is not available for linear probes.

B, M and Color modes. See the relevant B, Color and M mode sections for details.
In Color Tissue M mode, the parameters that can be adjusted are the same as those
in B, M and TVI modes. See the relevant B, M and TVI mode sections for details.
In Color M mode scanning, the image parameter area in the top-right corner of the
screen displays the real-time parameter values.
