Generating M-mode Ultrasound Image

I have 200 images or frames . All of them are ultrasound image. Is there any way that I can generated an M-mode image from these 200 images or frames in MATLAB. Because I want choose some suitable location from the M-mode image to do some other analysis.

I am very new with working on the US image.

I understand that you want to generate a M-mode image from 200 images or frames. Here are some steps which you can follow:

1. Load the ultrasound images: You can use the ‘imread()’ function to load the ultrasound images into MATLAB.
2. Preprocess the images: This may involve denoising, normalizing, and/or cropping the images.
3. Align the images: This is necessary to ensure that the M-mode image is consistent and easy to interpret. You can use the ‘imregister()’ function to align the images.
4. Generate the M-mode image: ‘improfile’ extracts the pixel values along a line in each frame. You specify the starting and ending points of the, effectively creating a horizontal line at the specified y_position. The pixel value at that position is stored in the M-mode image for each frame.
5. Display the M-mode image: You can use the ‘imshow()’ function to display the M-mode image.
