Measurements and Reports
Measurements are available during all examinations on real-time, frozen, and CINE images.
Note: Images saved in the ultrasound image output format (with or without overlays) can be recalled
for measurements after the examination ends.
General Functions

2D-mode and M-mode have unlimited sets of calipers per image for distance
measurements

Doppler has unlimited sets of calipers per image for velocity or frequency measurements

2D measurement tools on frozen/CINE and real-time images include distance, ellipse, and
trace

2D measurement packages include distance, area, circumference, volume, stenosis, and
volume flow

