The top of the AMM sweep is the cursor's origin, and the bottom edge of the AMM trace aligns with the ending direction (grey arrow) on the 2D image. The depth units on the trace indicate the length of the cursor. Reduce the width of the Increase the frame rate and improve the temporal and spatial 2D sector resolution of the AMM trace Intersect the cursor over Ensure reapplication of the optimal cursor positioning for any segments of cardiac walls follow-up examination Intersect the cursor with Evaluate valvular motion regardless of transducer alignment or cardiac valves electrocardiography trace Evaluate the cardiac In utero comparison of the atria or ventricles and other cardiac motion of the fetus structures Optimize the sweep speed Very high or low heart rates impact the number of cardiac cycles for timing displayed on the AMM trace Document movement Utilize the AMM sweep to view respiratory motion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) or record lung movement and artifacts SIEMENS Page 2 of 3 Healthineers Job Aid | Anatomical M-mode (AMM) ACUSON P500 system | 3.0 SW Release Effective Date: 03 June 2022 | HOOD05162003274210 References Moy, R.J., Chapman A.L., and Bapusamy A., (2010).
