A member asked:
If echo 2d measures actual thickness of septum and m-mode measures movement,does this means 2d is better to rule out s lvh and m-mode is better for mi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither one. Both: notorious for measurement errors due to angulation of view & limited imaging windows, varying person to person & skill of echo tech. Best always get all images & video, study yourself. M-Mode=display of single dimension (distance from probe) vs. time. 2-D=two dimensional display of anatomy (vs. time if recorded as video). Comparing the 2-D videos "allows" recognizing errors. http://goo.gl/Blh6rW.
