B-Mode Measurements
In B-Mode, you make the measurements in the General
Gynecology study. These measurements include:
• Uterine length, width, and height
• Ovarian length, width, and height
• Ovarian follicle
• Endometrium thickness
Uterus length, width, and height
Each of these is a standard distance measurement. Typically,
length and height are measured on the saggital plane while the
width is measured on the axial/transverse plane.
To measure uterus length, width, or height:
1. Scan the patient in the appropriate scan plane.
2. Select the UV folder, then select UV L, UV H, or UV W.
An active caliper displays.
3. Perform a standard distance measurement:
• To position the active caliper at the start point, move the
Trackball.
• To fix the start point, press
SET.
The system fixes the first caliper and displays a second
active caliper.
• To position the second active caliper at the end point,
move the Trackball.
A dotted line connects the measurement points.
• To complete the measurement, press
SET.
The system displays the distance value in the Results
window. After the first and second measurement, the
system displays an active caliper for the next
measurement.
4. To make the second and third distance measurement,
repeat steps 2-3 above.
After you complete the third distance measurement, the
system displays the Ut-Vol (uterine volume) in the Results
Window, together with the three dimensions: Ut-L, Ut-H,
Ut-W.
