Abstract
B Mode and TM mode Imaging are useful tools to illustrate directly the venous valve motion. Using B Mode, venous valve are echogenic with a particular kinetic as regards its topography. So it's possible to dete rmine in TM Mode a ''pseudo-cardiac'' valvular lar motion (jugular vei n) and a ''pseudo-diaphragmatic'' motion for the lower limbs veins, Va lvular motion assures unidirectional venous flow.
