Operating Procedures
See table above for methods and formulae of the measurement items.
6.4.3.12 PISA
PISA (Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area) is used in quantitative analysis of the mitral valve
regurgitation (PISA MR), aortic valve regurgitation (PISA AR), tricuspid valve regurgitation (PISA
TR), and pulmonary valve regurgitation (PISA PR) in color mode.
The PISA measurement procedures are as follows:
1. Start PISA, move the semicircular caliper by rotating the trackball.
2. Fix the center of the semicircular by pressing <Set>.
3. Adjust the radius length orientation of the semicircular by rotating the trackball.
4. Press <Set> to fix the caliper.
PISA MR
Mitral valve regurgitation (PISA MR) needs to be measured in Color and Doppler mode.
