You may also find color flow imaging helpful during M-mode studies. CFI superimposed on the M-mode display gives specific detail about the timing and duration of jets. In the following example the patient has both mitral and aortic insufficiancy.
- Aortic insufficiency (AI), indicated by the mosaic of colors in the left ventricular outflow tract in diastole, and
- Mitral insufficiency (MI), indicated by the mosaic of colors in the closed mitral valve in systole.
