The Lung M-mode app provides the m-mode capability specifically to support the assessment of lung and documentation of signs like seashore.

After entering this lung m-mode tool, a centered vertical m-mode cursor line will be applied to generate the anatomical m-mode display. Such tool will be enabled for linear transducer with lung preset and sector transducer with cardiac preset (the recommended preset for lung assessment with the sector transducer).

NOTE: * Applications under GE Marketplace are available as options (not available in all geographies).
