Real-time mode has been developed to present motion like a movie of the body's inner workings, showing this information at a high rate. The special real-time transducer uses a larger sound beam than for A, B or M-modes. A linear array transducer with multiple crystal elements displays real-time compound B-mode images with up to 100 images per second.
At each scan line, one sound pulse is transmitted and all echoes from the surface to the deepest range are received. Then the ultrasound beam moves on to the next scan line position where pulse transmission and echo recording are repeated.
