Site Measurement Methodologies
such as edema, a mass, undetachable ring or IV line, use
the contra-lateral side instead.
Positioning the patient
1.
The patient should be seated comfortably, opposite the oper-
ator and adjacent to a standard desk or table. The arm and
hand are placed on the desk, close to the operator.
Determining the area to be scanned
2.
To find the correct scanning area, first use the right angled
L-gauge supplied with Omnisense to measure the phalanx,
as described below. The gauge is illustrated in Figure 15.1.
Figure 15.1 L-gauge for measuring the phalanx
Bend the patient’s third finger so that the medial phalanx is
at right angles to the proximal phalanx. Fit the gauge to the
patient’s finger so that the right angle of the gauge fits over
the right angle made by the medial and proximal phalanges.
The shorter “leg” of the gauge should hold to the proximal
phalanx while the longer “leg” of the gauge is against the
medial phalanx. The correct gauge position is illustrated in
Figure 15.2.
The L-gauge has two
sections — the shorter
“leg” is fitted to the proxi-
mal phalanx; the longer
“leg” applies to the
medial phalanx.
