Measurement 8-1
8 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. For measurement details,
please refer to the Advanced Volume.
WARNING:
1. Be sure to measure areas of interest from the most optimal image plane
to avoid misdiagnosis from inaccurate measurement values.
2. 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.
CAUTION:
1. 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
general measurement data will be lost (the application measurement data
are stored in the report).
2.
If the system is turned off or [End] is selected during a measurement, the
data not saved will be lost.
3. In Dual-B imaging mode, the measurement results of the merged image
may be inaccurate. Therefore, the results are provided for reference only,
not for confirming a diagnosis.
