Making Measurements
Measurements and Calculations
Each Exam Type contains the measuring tools that you need for the calculations
contained in the package. You use these tools to measure different aspects of the
ultrasound image (and thus the underlying tissue); these measurements are used for
various calculations.
You have two options for making measurements, Measure and Calc . Measurements
are generic measurements that you can do on any region of interest. Calculations are
predefined measurements intended for measuring organs or ROIs within a particular
preset.
You can make measurements on archived images from the same type of ultrasound
system. The images must be in DICOM format, not .bmp. For information about the
format of stored images, see “HIPAA Compliance and Exporting Data” on page 58.
You cannot make measurements on video clips.
For calculation formulas and information about the accuracy of different types of
measurements, see “Clinical Measurements: Ranges and Accuracies” in the
bkSpecto User Guide and the Technical Data (BZ2100).
