tab is the default view. You may adjust intensity, select and display reference

comparing your patient’s bladder to one of the reference
images you can easily asses the state of your patient to
be full, empty or partial
The Patient Exam automatically collects and saves
images, volume measurement data, and a single-page
report.
The following steps will guide you through acquiring a
Bladder Volume using three distance measurements.
First you will acquire a transverse image of the bladder
to measure the height and width of the bladder.
Followed by a mid-sagittal scan to measure the
thickness.
In the Measure tab you can select from either Bladder Volume 3D or Bladder Volume. Bladder
Volume displays the volume using only the height and width from the transverse scan. If you are
performing a two dimension Bladder Volume measurement, you will skip steps 7, 8, and 9.
