9. Maintaining pressure and angle, fan the probe towards one hip until you hear the sound indicator and see an
arrow, then fan back towards the other hip until a second sound is heard.
• When fanning, consider the following:
— Do not slide the probe.
— Do not fan too fast or too slow. As a guideline, a complete fan should take around 3-5 seconds.
— Do not twist the probe.
— Angle the probe so that the bladder is in the middle of the ultrasound image.
• During acquisition, the display will show the fan position. When the three dimensional data acquisition is
complete, the System automatically completes the scan and displays the measured volume
(see FIGURE 20.
Measured volume).
