M-mode echocardiography

echocardiography /echo·car·di·og·ra·phy/ (-kahr″de-og´rah-fe) recording of the position and motion of the heart walls or internal structures of the heart by the echo obtained from beams of ultrasonic waves directed through the chest wall.

color Doppler echocardiography  color flow Doppler imaging.

contrast echocardiography  that in which the ultrasonic beam detects tiny bubbles produced by intravascular injection of a liquid or a small amount of carbon dioxide gas.

Doppler echocardiography  a technique for recording the flow of red blood cells through the cardiovascular system by means of Doppler ultrasonography, either continuous wave or pulsed wave.

M-mode echocardiography  that recording the amplitude and rate of motion (M) in real time, yielding a monodimensional (“icepick”) view of the heart.

transesophageal echocardiography  (TEE) the introduction of a transducer attached to a fiberoptic endoscope into the esophagus to provide two-dimensional cardiographic images or Doppler information.

Unidimensional echocardiography Cardiology Echocardiography based on one-dimensional–'ice-pick' analysis of the heart in motion; MME was the first application of ultrasound in cardiology and continues to be used
