4 D transducer
Ultrasound mode
• A mode is the oldest ultrasound modality
• Simple one-dimensional ultrasound image is
generated
• B mode
• Two-dimensional image of the area
• B mode can provide a cross sectional image through
the area of interest
• Doppler mode
• Produces a color-coded map of Doppler shifts
superimposed onto a B-mode ultrasound image
• Blood flow direction depends on whether the motion
is toward or away from the transducer. Selected by
convention, red and blue colors provide information
about the direction and velocity of the blood flow.
• Power Doppler mode
• Up to five times more sensitive in detecting blood
flow than color Doppler and it is less dependent on
the scanning angle.
• Not provide any information on the direction and
speed of blood flow
• M mode
• A single beam in an ultrasound scan can be used to
produce a picture with a motion signal
• Movement of a structure such as a heart valve can
be depicted in a wave-like manner.
Liver abscess
• Liver abscesses are typically poorly demarcated with a variable
appearance, ranging from predominantly hypoechoic (still with some
internal echoes however) to hyperechoic.
• Gas bubbles may also be seen.
• Doppler will demonstrate absence of central perfusion.
