Acclarix LX9 Series Diagnostic Ultrasound System User Manual
8.2.8.2. eHIP Measurement
The eHIP Measurement function can automatically measure the physiological parameters of neonatal
hip joint on a hip joint image for evaluating the development of the hip joint. The physiological
parameters can be measured include HIP Angle, HIP d/D, Femoral head length, Femoral head width,
and PFD.
The eHIP Measurement is an optional function. The physiological parameters of neonatal hip joint that
can be measured can be configured on the Preset page. See section 10.5 Measure Preset for details.
1. The hip joint image used for eHIP measurement must be standard enough, otherwise the
measurement results may not be accurate. When no valid hip joint image is recognized, the
system will prompt you with "No valid measurement result."
2. The eHIP measurement is only available on a frozen image.
3. The eHIP measurement results are for reference only, and their accuracy is affected by image
quality, hip joint section and other factors. Before adding the measurement results to the report,
please confirm that the measurement lines on the hip joint anatomy are correctly drawn. If there is
any doubt about the measurement result, confirm it manually or by other means.
To use eHIP measurement :
1. Scan the hip joint structure to obtain a standard image in B-mode, and freeze the system.
Note:
If needed, you can press the Quick Rotation buttons on the touch screen to rotate the image of
the hip joint structure by 90 degrees.
2. Invoke the application measurement function.
3. Press the eHIP button on the touch screen. The system automatically recognizes the tissue
characteristics of the hip joint image and draws the measurement line to obtain the measurement
results of the hip joint parameters.
If the patient's age is entered, the system will show the dislocation type of hip joint along with the
measurement results according to Graf method.
