Circumference/Area measurement.
4. Measure the normal tissue (Displayed as B=XX%) following the Ellipse method in section
8.1.1.2 Circumference/Area measurement.
5. The system automatically calculates the strain ratio between lesion (A) and normal tissue (B). It
is suggest to measure the lesion and normal tissue at the same depth.
Trace Method:
1. Invoke the generic measurement function.
2. Select Eratio-> Eratio Trace.
3. Measure the lesion (Displayed as A=XX%) following the Trace method in section 8.1.1.2
Circumference/Area measurement.
4. Measure the normal tissue (Displayed as B=XX%) following the Trace method in section
8.1.1.2 Circumference/Area measurement.
5. The system automatically calculates the strain ratio between lesion (A) and normal tissue (B). It

slope. To measure Slope:
1. Invoke the generic measurement function.
2. Select Slope.
3. Move the caliper to the start point.
