2 LOGIQ 7 Basic User Manual
Direction 2392206-100 Rev. 1
Urology Exam Preparation
Introduction
Measurements and calculations derived from ultrasound images
are intended to supplement other clinical procedures available
to the attending physician. The accuracy of measurements is not
only determined by the system accuracy, but also by use of
proper medical protocols by the user. When appropriate, be sure
to note any protocols associated with a particular measurement
or calculation. Formulas and databases used within the system
software that are associated with specific investigators are so
noted. Be sure to refer to the original article describing the
investigator's recommended clinical procedures.
General Guidelines
New Patient information must be entered before beginning an
exam. See ‘Beginning an Exam’ for more information.
Any measurement can be repeated by selecting that
measurement again from the Touch Panel Menu.
The system retains as many as eight measurements, but the
worksheet retains only the last six measurements of each type.
The three report page measurements can be averaged and the
average used in other calculations.
