Single Plane
This method calculates the left ventricular volumes by using the 2D-mode long-axis image.When the left ventricle is
traced and its long axis is specified on a 2D-mode cross-sectional image, this method allows the system to
automatically divide the long axis into 20 segments to calculate the volume of the left ventricle as the 2D-mode cross-
sectional image is rotated.

BiPlane
This method allows the volume of the left ventricle to be calculated by repeating “Simpson SP method” on two 2D-
mode cross-sectional images (two-chamber and four-chamber cross-sectional images).
Calculation is also possible for only two-chamber cross-sectional images or only four-chamber cross- sectional
images.
