Ovary length, width, and height
You can measure the length, width, and height of the left and
right ovaries. Each measurement is a typical distance
measurement made in the appropriate scan plane.
Typically, length and height are measured on the saggital plane
while the width is measured on the axial/transverse plane.
To measure ovarian length, width, or height:
1. Scan the patient's right or left ovary in the appropriate
plane.
2. Select the OV folder, then select left or right side.
3. Select length, width or height: OV L, OV W, or OV H.
4. 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.
5. To make the second and third distance measurements,
repeat steps 3-4 above.
After you complete the length, width, and height
measurements, the system displays the ovarian volume in the
Results window. The results are:
• Right side: Rt Ov-L, Rt Ov-H, Rt Ov-W, Rt Ov Vol
Or:
• Left side: Lt Ov-L, Lt Ov-H, Lt Ov-W, Lt Ov Vol
