M-Mode imaging provides very high temporal resolution (1000 fps) of tissue motion along a single ultrasound beam
M-Mode imaging provides very high temporal resolution (1000 fps) of tissue motion along a single ultrasound beam, and is generally used in cardiovascular research to study the movement of the myocardium and valves, quantify cavity dimensions or to study the movement of vessel walls.
Software analysis tools allow for quantification of key cardiac function parameters including ejection fraction, fractional shortening and cardiac output.
M-Mode image of left ventricle in mouse. Standard measurements of interventricular septum (IVS), left ventricle interior diameter (LVID), and left ventricle posterior wall (LVPW), are made in systole and diastole.
This option is available for both the Vevo 2100 and Vevo 770 Imaging Systems.
