1. Conrm that the aim was accurate by comparing the scan plane results to the results in the following table.
Table 5. Scan Plane Result
RESULT SCAN PLANE DESCRIPTION
Accurate
The light‑colored bladder images are
completely contained within the dark, triangular
scan planes.
Inaccurate
The light surface in either scan plane is
overlapping the edge of the black area or
appears to be cut off. Part of the bladder was
not contained in the scanhead’s eld of vision,
and the measurement may underestimate the
patient’s bladder volume.
2. If the scan plane result is inaccurate, press the SCAN button in order to clear the scan result, and then
repeat the procedure Measure Bladder Volume on page 25.
