11 Measurement and Report
The angle appears in the results window after setting the line segments.
11.3.4 Area & Circumference
Measures the area and circumference of a closed region on the image. Four measurement methods
are available:
• Ellipse: fix an ellipse region by two equal-cut perpendicular axes.
• Trace: fix a closed region by free tracing.
Ellipse
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select [Ellipse] in the measurement menu.
The cursor appears on the screen.
2. Hold and drag the cursor to an area of interest.
3. Tap on the screen to set the starting point of the first axis of the ellipse.
4. Move the cursor to position the end point of the first axis of the ellipse. Then
– Tap [Update] to switch between the fixed end and the active end of the first axis. Or
– Tap [Clear All] to clear all calipers.
5. Tap on the screen to set the end point of the first axis of the ellipse. The second axis appears on
the screen.
6. Select and drag the cursor to increase or decrease the ellipse from the fixed axis and trace the
area of interest as closely as possible.
– Tap [Update] to return to the step before setting the first axis. Or,
– Tap [Clear All] to clear all calipers.
7. Tap on the screen to anchor the ellipse region.
The measurement result will be displayed in the results window.
Trace
Perform the following procedure:
1. Select [Trace] in the measurement menu.
The cursor appears on the screen.
2. Hold and drag the cursor to an area of interest.
3. Tap on the screen to fix the starting point.
4. Move the cursor along the target to trace the outline of the target.
To modify the line, you can drag the cursor backward along the trace line.
5. Tap on the screen and the trace line will be closed with a straight line connecting the start and
end points. The trace will also be closed when the cursor is very near to the starting point.
11.3.5 Volume
Measures the volume of the target object.
For calculating the object’s volume with 3 axes of two images scanned in the plane perpendicular to
each other in B Mode. The calculation formula is as follows:
