PROCEDURE 4. REVIEW EXAM RESULTS
This section describes the procedures that can occur after the scan. Perform the procedures that are
applicable for your installation.
CONFIRM OR ADJUST AIM
Aiming technique can have an impact on the bladder measurement result. When the bladder is partially
outside the ultrasound field of view or obstructed by the pubic bone at certain scanning angles, then the
actual bladder volume may exceed the displayed result. To help ensure the highest degree of accuracy, the
system has several features to assist with aiming technique and confirmation.
