Position
Description
Adjust the location of the motion curve upwards and downwards.
Operation
Adjust through [Position] on the touch screen.
The adjusting range is: 0-100% in increment of 5%.
R-VQS Gain
Description
Adjust amplitude of vessel wall motion curve.
Operation
Adjust through [R-VQS Gain] on the touch screen. The higher the value, the
larger amplitude the motion curve.
The adjusting range is: 0-30 in increment of 1.
5.20 Smart Pelvic Floor
Description
1. Smart Pelvic Floor and Pelvic Floor Package is an option.
2. This feature is available only under GYN or pelvic floor exam mode.
Two Dimensional Image
1. Perform scanning under GYN or pelvic floor exam mode. Press <Freeze> and tap [Smart Pelvic
Floor] tab.
2. Roll the trackball to select the target frame in the frozen cine file and tap [Set Rest] to set rest frame.
3. Tap [Measure] and press <Set> to anchor measurement calipers of location S/U/E/R/V by the
indications on the screen. The system then calculates corresponding parameters.
S- Symphysis Pubis bottom, U- Uretha-Bladder joint, E- Uretha proximal, R- Bladder posterior wall
near uretha, V- Bladder posterior wall bottom, SP- Pubic symphysis.
Following results are obtained: BSD (Bladder Neck
– Symphyseal Distance), PVA (Pubovesical
Angle), PUA (Pubourethral Angle), RVA (Retrovesical Angle), BND(Bladder Neck Descent), UTA
(Urethral Tilt Angle), URA (Urethral Rotation Angle), BSD (Bladder Neck
–Symphyseal Distance)
。
4. Set Valsalva frame as described in step 1-3 and finish measurements.
5. Tap [Jump to Rest] / [Jump to Valsalva] to review the corresponding measurement results.
Tap [Set Rest] / [Set Valsalva] again to delete marks of rest frame and Valsalva and corresponding
measurement results.
Tap [Measure] to select measurement tool and perform step 3 to measure. Result window displays
only selected measurement results.
Tap [Ref Coord C1] / [Ref Coord C2] / [Ref Coord C3] for different measurement methods when
necessary.
Add comments and body marks if necessary. For details, refer to chapter
”.
6.
Save the cine file. See “6.4 Cine Review” for details.
3D/4D image data
1. Select probe and GYN/ pelvic floor exam mode. Acquire 3D/4D image and then press <Freeze> to
tap [Smart Pelvic Floor] tab.
2. Tap [VR] to perform measurement on VR image.
3. Tap [Input] and enter U and Bottom in the VR image. The system starts calculation. U refers to
urethral center and Bottom is anterior margin of puborectalis muscle. Different values in
Rest/Maximum Valsalva/Contraction status are calculated: Levator Hiatus anteroposterior/lateral
Diameter, Levator Hiatus circumference/area, Levator Urethra Gap.
