KOSMOS User Guide 121
Frozen state The state KOSMOS gets into when you tap the
Freeze button in live imaging.
During the frozen state, you can add annotations
to one frame of the cine and save the still image.
The measurements only stay on one frame of the
cine, but the annotations will persist in the whole
cine. When you save a clip from the cine,
annotations are saved as overlays on the clip, but
the measurement won’t be saved in the clip. That
is because usually measurements are relevant to
only one frame of a cine instead of the whole
series of frames.
HR Heart rate.
Image An image is a single frame of an ultrasound view
captured by KOSMOS.
M-line A line that appears in B-mode for which M-mode
provides the trace.
Measurement A measurement is a distance or area measurement
on images with no inference to underlying
anatomy. A measurement overlay shows the tool
(such as a caliper or ellipse) and the measured
values.
PACS Picture Archiving and Communication Systems.

software) built to run digital medical imaging. The
main components of PACS include digital image
acquisition devices, digital image archives, and
workstations. The PACS settings in this document
refer to the settings of connecting to digital image
archives.
Physical coordinates The position in the field of view expressed in terms
of physical dimensions either in millimeters or
