5-26 Measurements and calculations
2 On the Ao/LA calculation list, tap the measurement name.
3 Position the calipers by dragging.
4 Save the calculation: Tap under the measurement name.
To calculate Atrial Volumes (Simpson’s Rule)
1 On a frozen 2D image, tap Calcs .
If this control is hidden, tapping More Controls displays it.
2 On the calculation list, tap Atrial Vol .
3 Do the following for each measurement:
a On the measurements list, tap the desired view and phase.
b Drag the caliper to the start position at the annulus.
After lifting your finger from the screen, a pencil icon appears, indicating that the start location is set
and you can begin your trace.
c Using your finger, trace the atrial cavity (LA or RA).
To make a correction, trace backward on the dotted line.
d Complete the trace at the other annulus by lifting your finger from the screen.
The trace closes automatically.
e You can adjust the atrial length by dragging the cursor.
f To save the calculation, tap under the measurement name.
Notes

Even after completing the trace, you can still adjust it by dragging the cursor
backward on the dotted line.

The recommended method is to trace from annulus to annulus and allow the
system to automatically close the trace.
Note Bi-plane volume is displayed when the length of the cavity as measured in the
2- and 4-chamber views differs by less than 5 mm.
Note To calculate LAVI and/or RAVI, BSA is required.
