11 Measurement and Report
11.1 Measurement
There are general measurements and application measurement. You can perform measurements on
a zoomed image, cine reviewing image, real-time image, or frozen image.
There are two types of measurement tools.
• Basic tools: the measurement tools for Basic Measurements which are general and have no
specific clinical definitions. Examples include “Distance” and “Area”.
• Advanced tools: the measurement tools for Advanced Measurement. These items are classified
and combined in clinical advanced packages according to the exam mode. For example, HC
(head circumference) in the Obstetric measurements is one of the advanced tools.
• Be sure to measure areas of interest from the most optimal image plane to
avoid misdiagnosis from inaccurate measurement values.
• To obtain accurate Doppler flow measurement values, make sure the
transmitting beam is not perpendicular to the flow, otherwise false readings
and potential misdiagnosis may result.
• If an image is unfrozen or the mode is changed during a measurement, the
calipers and measurement data will be cleared from the screen. The basic
advanced data will be lost (the advanced measurement data are stored in
the report).
• If the system is turned off or [End] is selected during a measurement, the
data not saved will be lost.
• Select the proper patient image and measurement tools. Only qualified
professionals can decide the appropriate measurements and results.
• Confine measurement calipers to the actual Region of Interest (ROI).
Measurements that extend beyond the ROI will be incorrect.
• Before examining a new patient, it is necessary to use the [End] to end the
current scan and delete the patient information and data. Failure to do so
will result in new patient data being combined with the previous patient’s
data.
• When the system is turned OFF or use the [End], all unsaved data are lost.
• Changing modes during a measurement will delete the General
Measurement data.
