The present invention provides a mmode imaging method and apparatus for an
ultrasonic diagnosis device to increase the continuity of the displayed
mmode images. The mmode imaging method of the invention comprises steps:
define a sample line on a frame of bmode image, so as to select bmode
data of sample points constituting the sample line; convert the bmode
data of the sample points obtained from two consecutive frames of bmode
image into two of mmode lines arranged in time order in a mmode image; at
predetermined positions between the two mmode lines, generate mmode data
that constitute at least one mmode lines based on the echo data of
corresponding sample points on the two mmode lines; and image the mmode
data in time sequence.
