A-mode (

)

A one-dimensional representation of a reflected sound wave in a diagnostic ultrasound.

A-mode,

amplitude modulation in diagnostic ultrasonography. It represents the time required for the ultrasound beam to strike a tissue interface and return its signal to the transducer. The greater the reflection at the tissue interface, the larger the signal amplitude on the A-mode screen. See also B-mode, M-mode.

A-mode
