“…On the contrary, A-mode without signal in the lungs and M mode to show a seashore image helps the operator to easily grasp the depth of the lungs. Although some scholars have proposed the use of coastlines in the past, they have not matched the use of A-mode [26]. We believe that UFA is very useful lung detection technology that can make it easier to identify the safe depth during acupuncture.…”

“…When compared M-mode and a seashore photo, we can find sky, waves and sand are refereeing to skin, soft tissue and lung grossly. The M-mode image of skin to lung was called a seashore sign by Lichtenstein et al [25,26] Combined with A-mode and M-mode, the lung's depth can be detected. We also demonstrated an image of M-mode that UFA compared with commercial portable ultrasound devices (Leltek).…”

Development and Evaluation of Inexpensive Ultrasound Using A-Mode and M-Mode Signals to Identify Lung Depth and Avoid Risk of Pneumothorax in Acupuncture

et al. 2020

Purpose To increase patient safety, ultrasound detection acupuncture (UDA) has been developed, which can detect a safe depth for acupuncturists to avoid causing pneumothorax. This study aims to develop and evaluate a single-transducer ultrasound for acupuncture (UFA) to promote UDA. Methods Special A-mode and M-mode signals were analyzed to identify the depth of the lung. Six subjects were recruited to test the reliability and validity of UFA on GB21, LV14 and BL43 acupuncture points. Results The result showed UFA’s coefficient of variation was less than 0.2 and no difference in age, gender, and BMI of the subjects statistically, demonstrating excellent reliability. However, the content validity index of 0.51 did not meet expectations. UFA has good reliability, but it cannot reach the level of medical ultrasound. UFA uses A-mode and the seashore sign of M-mode to make a good identification of the lung, and it would be useful in the promotion of UDA.
