Basic Measurements
NOTE: The following instructions assume that you first scan the patient and then press Freeze.
Check Distance and Tissue Depth Measurement
1.) Press Measure once to display an active caliper.
2.) Move the TRACKBALL to position the active caliper at the start point (distance) or the most anterior
point (tissue depth).
3.) Press Set to fix the start point.
4.) The system fixes the first caliper and displays a second active caliper.
5.) Move the TRACKBALL to position the second active caliper at the end point (distance) or the most
posterior point (tissue depth).
6.) Press Set to complete the measurement.
The Ultrasound system displays the distance or tissue depth value in the measurement
results window.
NOTE: Before you complete a measurement:
• To toggle between active calipers, press MEASURE.
• To erase the second caliper and the current data measured and start the measurement again, press
CLEAR once.
To rotate through and activate previously fixed calipers, turn Cursor Select.
After you complete the measurement, to erase all data that has been measured to this point, but not
data entered onto worksheets, press Clear.
Check Circumference/Area (Ellipse) Measurement
1.) Press Measure once to display an active caliper.
2.) Move the Trackball to position the active caliper.
3.) Press Set to fix the start point.
4.) The system fixes the first caliper and displays a second active caliper.
5.) Move the Trackball to position the second caliper.
6.) Turn the Ellipse control; an ellipse with an initial circle shape appears.
NOTE: Be careful not to press the Ellipse control as this activates the Body Pattern.
7.) Move the Trackball to position the ellipse and to size the measured axes (the calipers).
8.) To increase the size, turn the Ellipse control in a clockwise direction. To decrease the size, turn
the Ellipse control in a counterclockwise direction.
9.) To toggle between active calipers, press Measure.
10.)Press Set to complete the measurement.
11.)The Ultrasound system displays the circumference and area in the measurement results
window.
Before you complete a measurement:
- To erase the ellipse and the current data measured, press Clear once. The original caliper is
displayed to restart the measurement.
- To exit the measurement function without completing the measurement, press Clear again.
