Basic Measurements
Overview
Measurements and calculations derived from ultrasound
images are intended to supplement other clinical
procedures available to the attending physician. The
accuracy of measurements are not only determined by
system accuracy, but also by the 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
investigations are noted. Please refer to the original
article describing the investigators recommended clinical
procedures.
Basic Measurements are made after the image is
captured and frozen.
