M-Mode

M-mode displays the echo intensity along a single axial line as a function of time.
The URI-OPT M-mode display currently only supports RF data collected in the URI M-only and B-live/M-live modes. The current version of program takes a long time to process a large M-mode file (>40MB), and may run into memory overflow problem.

In Matlab:
>> URIMmode

User will be first prompted to select an URI RF data file.
The starting point (in sample) of the range gate. The size of the range gate (in samples). The first vector out of the data file to be displayed.  Default is 1. The last vector out of the data file to be displayed.  Default is the available number of vectors. The number of vectors to skip for each loaded. Press OK to starting processing. Press Cancel to end program without proceeding further. Press Cancel to end program without proceeding further. Press OK to start processing. Select a single frame of B-mode from the BM data to be displayed. The starting point (in sample) of the M-mode range gate. The size of the range gate (in samples).

Depending on the acquired URI data (M-only or B-Liv/M-liv), one of these following prompt windows will pop up:
(Move cursor over the fields in these pictures to see short descriptions)

for M-only acquisitioins:
for BM acquisitions:

(For BM data, while only a single frame of B-mode image can be selected, all available M vectors will be automatically used for the M-mode display.)

Press "OK" to start processing.

When process is finished, the log-compressed envelop of the M-mode data will be displayed against time:

If the loaded URI data is acquired under B-Liv/M-liv combined modes, then a separate figure will display the B-mode image (automatically scan-converted, if necessary) with indicator of the range gate location.

For more information, please also look at the function URIMmodeF.m on how M-mode is processed in URI-OPT.
URIMmodeF.m is the functional form of URIMmode.m. It does not use graphical-user-interface, but is convenient for user to modify and test out new codes.
