    M-mode, Doppler, color Doppler, and 2D are the main control modes on ultrasound instruments that are used to understand the movement and flow within the body. Each mode has a specific clinical application: M-mode measures structure movement over time, Doppler differentiates veins from arteries, color Doppler identifies structures with flow, and 2D returns the screen to basic scanning mode.

    Knobology: The functionality of controls on an instrument as relevant to their application.

    M-mode Doppler
    M-mode is used when you want to know if a Doppler can reliably differentiate a vein from an
    particular structure is moving or not. In this mode, artery by highlighting the rate of flow (which is
    you can also perform certain calculations based on reliably different in a vein and an artery). If you place
    the rate of movement. the Doppler calipers within a vessel, you will produce
    a sound based on the flow within that vessel. A
    pulsed flow will correspond to an artery, whereas a
    steadier, passive, flow will be of a vein.
