To ensure the accuracy of the result, please make sure that the ROI position and size setting has
entirely enclosed the target and is approximate to the target before using the Smart Volume
function.
Smart-V Vocal
1. Acquire necessary 3D/4D data.
2. Tap [Smart-V] > [Smart V Vocal] on the touch screen to enter Smart V Vocal interface, and the
system is in the “Reference Line” status.
3. Use [Slice Num] to set the number of slices.
4. Set the reference line on one of the three MPRs by using the trackball and the set keys.
5. Use [Trace Mode] to select the desired trace mode.
6. Trace the contour on slices. The trace should cross the two round points of the reference line.
Tap [Next Slice]/[Previous Slice] to go to the next or previous slice.
7. After contours are traced on all the slices, tap [Calc Vol], and the system starts to calculate.
8. Auto calculation is finished:
– There are yellow solid curves enclosing target region on each MPR image (A, B, C)
window.
– 3D image (VR) displays image of the target region in red;
– The calculation result is displayed on the lower left part of the screen.
9. Modify the contour of the calculated area and recalculate its volume, if necessary.
10. Calculate the volume of the shell.
Tap [Shell] on the touch screen to select the shell type, select [Thickness] and rotate [Angle] to
set the thickness. The calculation result is displayed on the lower left part of the screen.
To ensure the accuracy of the result, please make sure that the traced contour has entirely enclosed
the target and is approximate to the target before using the Smart Volume function.
7.11.2 Result Display
After calculation, the following result will be displayed on the lower left part of the screen.
Whereas, L, W and H represent 3 diameter lengths of the fitting ellipsoid.
V represents calculated volume value.
MG represents Mean gray value; VI represents Vascularization Index; FI represents Flow Index;
VFI represents Vascularization Flow Index.
7.11.3 Operation Controls
Edit
After the calculation, you can modify the contour of the calculated area and recalculate its volume.
•For Smart-V ROI:
– Tap [Edit off] to enable the editing function.
– Tap [Add] and then trace an enclosed area manually, and the area to be calculated will be
enlarged to include the traced area.
