What type of data is displayed in a typical A-mode ultrasound image and how is it represented?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information about A-mode ultrasound images, specifically what type of data is presented and how that data is represented.
Answer
A-mode ultrasound shows depth vs. echo amplitude.
A-mode ultrasound displays depth on the horizontal axis and echo amplitude on the vertical axis.
Answer for screen readers
A-mode ultrasound displays depth on the horizontal axis and echo amplitude on the vertical axis.
More Information
A-mode, or Amplitude modulation, is the simplest type of ultrasound imaging. It primarily provides information on the distance of objects from the probe, making it useful for measuring tissue depths.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing A-mode with more complex imaging modes like B-mode or M-mode, which provide different types of information.
