5-68 Image Optimization
5.10.11 Smart Volume
The system provides a fast volume calculation method, using computer technology to define and
enclose a boundary of the target within the VOI area (the computer technology allows the
ultrasound system to fit an ellipsoid that can be most approximate to the target) and then
calculating this volume. It can be used to measure the volume of mass, gestational sac or fetus.
Smart Volume is an option, and it is not available in Smart 3D mode.
Smart Volume result is provided for reference only, not for confirming
a diagnosis.
5.10.11.1 Basic Procedure for Smart Volume
1. Acquire necessary 3D/4D data.
2. Touch [Smart-V] tab on the touch screen to enter Smart Volume, and the system is in the ―Edit
VOI‖ status ([Edit ROI] button is highlighted in green);
3. Set ROI position and size, and touch [Calc] (after touching the button, the button is highlighted
in green to indicate the status);
4. The system starts to calculate;
5. Auto calculation is finished:
There are green solid curves enclosing target region on each MPR image (A, B, C)
window.
3D image (VR) displays image of the target region in red;
Parameter area on the right upper screen displays the calculation result.
To ensure the accuracy of the result, please make sure that the VOI position and
size setting has entirely enclosed the target and is approximate to the target before
using the Smart Volume function.
5.10.11.2 Result Display
After calculation, the following result will be displayed on the upper right part of the screen.
Whereas, L, W and H represent 3 diameter lengths of the fitting ellipsoid.
V represents calculated volume value.
