12 Smart Pelvic Floor (Smart Pelvic)
The Smart Pelvic Floor function is used to Automatically measure distances and angles of anterior,
central and posterior compartments according to the feature point inputs on 2D images of rest and
stress, and then calculate BND and URA; Automatically measure the size of levator hiatus etc.
according to the axial plane automatically obtained from volume data; Automatically measure the
size of levator hiatus, levator urethra gap etc. according to the “open-closing-closed” planes
automatically obtained from volume data.
12.1 Two Dimensional Image
1. Perform scanning under GYN or pelvic floor exam mode. Press <Freeze>, tap [Smart Pelvic].
2. Roll the trackball to select the target frame in the frozen cine file and tap [Rest] to set rest
frame.
3. Tap [Measure] and press <Set> to anchor measurement calipers of location S/P/U/E/R/V by
the indications on the screen. The system then calculates corresponding parameters.
S- Symphysis Pubis bottom, P- Central axis of Symphysis pubis, U- Uretha-Bladder joint, E-
Uretha proximal, R- Bladder posterior wall near uretha, V- Bladder posterior wall bottom, SP-
Pubic symphysis.
Following results are obtained: BSD (Bladder Neck – Symphyseal Distance), PVA
(Pubovesical Angle), PUA (Pubourethral Angle), RVA (Retrovesical Angle), BND(Bladder
Neck Descent), UTA (Urethral Tilt Angle), URA (Urethral Rotation Angle), BPW-SP
Dist.(Bladder Post Wall - Symphysis Publis Distance), Cx-SP Dist.(Cervix - Symphysis Publis
Distance)(Only measured under Ref Coord C1), RA-SP Dist.(Rectal Ampulla - Symphysis
Publis Distance) (Only measured under Ref Coord C1).
4. Set Valsalva frame as described in step 2-3 and finish measurements.
5. Tap [Jump to Rest] / [Jump to Valsalva] to review the corresponding measurement results.
Tap [Rest] / [Valsalva] again to delete marks of rest frame and Valsalva and corresponding
measurement results.
Tap [Meas Parameters] to select measurement tool and perform step 3 to measure. Result
window displays only selected measurement results.
Tap [Ref Coord C1] / [Ref Coord C2] / [Ref Coord C3] for different measurement methods
when necessary.
Tap [Edit] to edit the calipers, and corresponding measurement results changes.
Tap [Hide], and tick measurement tools to be displayed, and the result window will hide results
of unchecked measurement tools.
Add comments and body marks if necessary.
6. Save the cine file.
