2D Mode
The Terason Ultrasound System delivers 2-dimensional digital imaging using 256 digital
beam-forming channels. This imaging mode delivers excellent image uniformity, tissue
contrast resolution, and steering flexibility in frequencies from 2 MHz to 12 MHz. The
high channel count supports true phased array and high-element count imaging
transducers.
The 2D scan data displays in the 2D Image Display window. The figure below shows a
sample 2D obstetrical scan.

M-Mode (Motion Mode)
The Terason Ultrasound System provides simultaneous 2-dimensional (B-Mode) and M-
Mode imaging. This combination is valuable for the efficient assessment of moving
structures.
Use M-Mode to determine patterns of motion for objects within the ultrasound beam.
Typically, this mode is used for viewing motion patterns of the heart.
M-Mode displays scan data of the anatomy in the 2D Image Display window, and the
motion scan in the Time Series window. The following figure shows a sample M-Mode
scan.
