End-diastolic volume contour detection
1. Select EDV (End-Diastolic Volume).
The default screen displays three apical views, three short
axis views and an interactive view (Figure 8-28).
The system automatically displays the loops at the
estimated end diastolic frame.
2. If the automatic end diastolic frame detection is not optimal,
use the Move ED control to set the new end diastolic frame.
3. In one of the apical views, place two points: one at the
center of the LV base and one at the apex.
A contour is automatically drawn in all views (see
Figure 8-28).
NOTE: Alternative methods for doing contour detection: press Auto
on the Control panel to draw the contour automatically
without placing any points, or press Manual on the control
panel and place two basal and one apical point in all three
apical views.
NOTE: Erroneous contour detection of the left ventricle may lead to
incorrect measurement results. The contour detection
should be visually checked and edited if required.
The contour detection should be checked in all slices.
NOTE: Press Layout several times on the control panel to display
the apical slices in large size one by one.
The contour detection quality can be visualized by moving
the cursor through the LV and observe the contour detection
in the interactive view. The position of the interactive view
updates according to the cursor position in the other views.
To lock the interactive view, press Lock view. When the
interactive view is locked the position can be controlled
using the Move view control.
Adjust Contour visibility to change the display intensity of
the contour (or hide it).
To run the cineloop, press 2D Freeze on the Control panel
or the rotary button Run on the Touch panel.
To stop the cineloop, press 2D Freeze on the Control panel
or the rotary button Go To ED on the Touch panel. The end
diastolic frame is displayed.
To edit the contours, see ‘Contour adjustment’ on
page 8-57.
To reset the contours and start over, press Reset.
